Here's some food for thought. I can't really make heads or tails of it so I will leave that up to the forum's collective heads.
Since the AFC investment was made by Roman he has purchased an 18% stake in a company called AlterNRG, who specialises in plasma gasification of waste products. Clearly the AFC tech fits with this business model not unlike Lincs UCG.
Here is a presentation from August that shows what the company does.

And here is an article explaining the investment from RA.

Alter NRG also has a project in Kwinana, WA, that might explain the stop in Perth.
I can't work out what RA might want to invest in LNC for? Although there was mention in the Q1 of an undisclosed investment in negotiation for Eastern Europe, so perhaps we might get lucky.
I think there is a real possibility however, that he is here to look at the Velocys micro channel FT reactor. The plasma gasification process produces Syngas, and there is mention from AlterNRG of fuels production.
There was also a mention on the Velocys site that potential customers have been visiting the "confidential partners" facility (Chinchilla), perhaps this explains it? Just a thought.
Unfortunantly, this would mean OCG would be the benifactor and not LNC.
Happy for others to do more thinking.
