Velocys is a technology licensor
Velocys licenses microchannel Fischer-Tropsch synthesis systems for the production of sustainable fuels.
The company provides integrated synthesis solutions through its microFTL™ technology, enabling the conversion of synthesis gas into liquid hydrocarbons for sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and other synthetic fuels.
What Velocys does
Velocys provides the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis core within renewable fuel production systems.
This includes:
- technology licensing
- AlphaCore™ microchannel reactor systems
- SQRCAT™ catalyst systems
- process design and integration support
- commissioning, startup, and operational services
Velocys works with project developers, EPC contractors, and technology partners to integrate FT synthesis into full fuel production pathways.
Where Velocys fits in a fuel production plant
Velocys operates within the FT synthesis section of the fuel production value chain.
A typical project includes:
- feedstock processing
- gasification or reforming
- syngas cleaning
- Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (Velocys)
- product upgrading
Velocys provides the step where synthesis gas becomes liquid hydrocarbons, focusing exclusively on FT synthesis, enabling partners to develop complete fuel production systems.
How Velocys works with partners
Velocys operates as a technology licensor and integration partner.
The company:
- licenses its technology to project developers
- supports EPC contractors during design and execution
- collaborates with upstream and downstream technology providers
Rather than develop or operate fuel production plants, Velocys works alongside partners across the value chain.
Why Velocys focuses on Fischer-Tropsch
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis provides a flexible pathway for converting multiple carbon sources into liquid fuels.
Velocys focuses on this technology because it enables:
- compatibility with diverse feedstocks (biogas, biomass, waste, CO₂-derived syngas)
- production of drop-in fuels compatible with existing infrastructure
- integration across multiple renewable fuel pathways
Operating experience
Velocys technology has been demonstrated across commercial, demonstration, and pilot-scale systems.
This includes:
- Envia (United States) — modular gas-to-liquids plant demonstrating commercial FT operation
- Toyo / NEDO (Japan) — SAF production with ASTM-qualified fuel
- SuMo (Europe) — proof-of-concept FT fluid production
These projects provide operating data and experience that inform current technology deployment.
How Velocys is structured today
Velocys is focused on technology licensing and system integration for renewable fuel production.
The company’s current focus includes:
- expanding deployment of microFTL microchannel FT technology
- supporting renewable fuel and SAF projects globally
- working with project partners to scale synthesis across multiple feedstock pathways
