Result of AGM and Other Matters
Quadrise Fuels International plc (AIM: QFI), the emerging
supplier of MSAR(R) emulsion technology and fuel, enabling a
low-cost alternative to heavy fuel oil (one of the world's largest
fuel markets, comprising over 450 million tonnes per annum) in the
global shipping, refining and power generation markets, announces
that at its Annual General Meeting held earlier today, all
resolutions proposed to the meeting were duly passed.
Following the meeting, a presentation was made on progress
during 2016. A copy of the presentation will be available on the
Company's website at www.quadrisefuels.com.
The Company also confirms that it is in discussions with a large
Japanese engineering contractor with a view to seeking to undertake
a study with the contractor to identify prospective producers and
consumers of MSAR(R) in Japan.
As had been announced by the Company on 21 July 2016, Dr. Ian
Duckels, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, retired as a
director of the Company immediately following the Annual General
Meeting held earlier today. Dr. Duckels had been a director of the
Company since September 2008 and, prior to joining the board of

Notes to Editors
QFI has developed MSAR(R) as a less expensive, cleaner synthetic
HFO. Produced using QFI's proprietary technologies and services,
MSAR(R) offers both producers and consumers of the fuel significant
economic and environmental advantages. MSAR(R), an oil in water
emulsion, is made by mixing the residue stream from an oil refinery
with water and specialised chemicals in a proprietary production
process, instead of diluting the residuals with high value
distillate products as in the production of HFO.
QFI acts as the technology and service partner to both the
producer and the consumer and aims to create value both through
licence revenues from the production of fuel and the sale of the
chemicals and MSAR(R) manufacturing systems. The core technology
has been developed jointly with AkzoNobel - one of the world's
leading surface chemistry companies.
The two largest markets for the use of MSAR(R) as a low cost,
efficient and environmentally friendly synthetic HFO are marine
bunkering and power generation. Significant work has been carried
out to demonstrate the proof of concept in both end-user markets
and current work is focused on commercial scale trials the
successful conclusion of which will be a significant milestone
towards QFI developing sustainable commercial revenues.
