The leading
Fischer-Tropsch
technology licensor
for sustainable fuels

Our proven Fischer-Tropsch technology derisks sustainable fuel projects while lowering the cost to produce drop-in, net zero, sustainable aviation fuel at commercial scale.

Velocys’ FT SAF is chemically identical to the carbon-intensive Jet-A used in aviation around the world today. It can be made from a variety of waste materials and burned directly in existing internal combustion engines. SAF was produced with our FT technology in Japan and was tested in a commercial flight in 2021. Beyond aviation, this same FT process has been used to produce renewable diesel, as well. Our mission is to use our proven FT technology to decarbonize the fuels required in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and heavy transport.

Our modular FT technology converts hydrogen and carbon monoxide into synthetic crude, which is then upgraded into final fuels like SAF, eFuels, and renewable diesel. Velocys’ microchannel FT reactors and Oxford-engineered catalysts improve the yield of high-value hydrocarbons during the Fischer-Tropsch process, effectively producing more fuel from a given volume of feedstock. Improved yields and a small footprint compared to conventional FT reactors keep spend down, lowering the cost of producing SAF and other sustainable fuels.

Velocys is the trusted Fischer-Tropsch technology licensor for SAF, renewable diesel, and eFuels.
