I rarely start threads on ats but became very frustrated at the lack of attention ats has given to this breakthrough, hence me starting this poorly
composed thread. I searched but could not find a thread.
Mathieu flamini, a midfielder for arsenal and previously AC Milan, has apparantly revolutionised the energy industry with a break through in the
mass production of levulinic acid, a substitute for oil.
He was a approached during his time at AC Milan about this potential break through, and during the past 7 years him and his partner have ploughed
several million into this revolutionary new form of energy.

Levulinic acid is not new, but until now has not been mass produced cost effectively. It is one of the 12 molecules highlighted by the US department
of energy that could replace petrol in all its forms.
It is a biofuel that will change the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, plastics and food preservative industries.
It is great to see a professional footballer (especially arsenal player) that has dedicated his money and resources into helping the planet and
mankind. He took on a high risk investment for over 7 years with no returns, didn't boast about his vocation and only told his family last year, as
he wanted it complete and up and running.
This is a fine example of how the rich can change the world for the better, ignoring selfish urges to help tackle climate control .
Assuming the big oil companies don't destroy his work and life, as a 50% owner of the company he is set to be the first billionaire footballer that I
know of.
Again I am dissapointed that this has not been made a thread already, as other members could have done a far greater job then me and with all the
conspiracies about big oil companies I am shocked that people haven't jumped on this. In a way it shows me that many members don't care as much as
they state.
Please read the article and I ask that members who care about climate change add more information so that other members can benefit.
I have done this thread on a crap phone and really didn't want to be felt the need.
Please don't criticise the poor post as I am at work and stick to helping each other understand this new energy source that will hopefully change the
world.
