Two excellent investments come immediately to mind given this scenario.

The first is one of the companies which will be building these devices. Current short term plans are to sell licences for manufacture of these, and not to build them ourselves. I think profit margins of the first hundred thousand or so of these which are produced will be huge. These will go to remote locations where fuel availability is low and transportation is expensive. Think how beneficial one of these would be at the base near the south pole. Diesel fuel for their generators there has to be flown in at I’m sure a tremendous cost.

The second are very energy intensive industries. The primary one of these is Aluminum manufacturers. Other electrochemical companies are also heavy electricity users. Like chlorine manufacturers. And, as Brian mentioned, fertilizer manufacturers. Specifically ammonia producers.

Raw material prices could go either way. If I were a mine owner in a remote location. I’d buy a DPF device and build a ore processing and smelting facility right at mine site; instead of transporting the ore for hundreds of miles to process. This will not only reduce their costs, but it will also make some ore deposits which could not previously be economically available.

Shipping will certainly be an investment opportunity. The first shipyards to incorporate these into there electric drive freighters will make gigabucks.
