As a former refining research engineer, I would have to agree that this sounds too good to be true. Even if it were true, it will be over five years before a commercial unit could be up and running. And what about the current desulfurization facilities which are in place and are entirely adequate? Are refiners going to decommission them and build replacement facilities? Such a trade off has never been economical in the past for other processes. The best time to introduce new processes is when capacity expansions are made. These things considered, I would say save your investment funds for a surer opportunity. Give Chevron an email citing "their interest" and ask if they are involved.
