The taxation risk is such a big issue with diesel applications in light aviation that any major corporation contemplating major development will be very cautious about jumping in and spending real money, it seems to me.

It is more likely that there is an incentive if Avgas disappears, which it probably will, given time.

You would not want to bank your pension on an aviation diesel industry, I suggest.
