the synthetic market is huge, absoluteley.

however:
31% of the market is carbon fibres...Albany will not be targetting carbon fibres.
42% of the market is electrodes...i beleive AE has said they will not target electrodes.

to we are down to 27% of the synthetic market as a target.

Battery technology is a driving factor in future demand, smartphones, car batteries, etc.

like i said though, there is the concern of targeting an evolving technology and given the recent particle sizes ZEN has given to us (which lie in the target size for batteries), I fear that they might be heavily targetting this sector and neglecting multiple other uses, such as the ones you detailed.

As for CAPEX, i'd rather be conservative. The company can say whatever he wants, I will act conservatively until RPA tells us otherwise.

either way, thanks for the civil response.

cheers
