Clients and partners
Velocys works with project developers, EPC contractors, and technology providers to integrate Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into complete fuel production systems.
Partnerships are structured around defined roles within the value chain, with Velocys providing the FT technology and supporting integration into broader project architectures.
How Velocys works with partners
Velocys operates as a technology licensor within a broader ecosystem of project stakeholders.
Typical roles include:
- Project developers
Define project scope, financing, and overall development - EPC contractors
Design and build the full facility - Upstream technology providers
Gasification, reforming, and syngas production - Downstream upgrading partners
Fuel finishing and product certification
Velocys provides the FT synthesis technology within this structure.
Partnership approach
Velocys is structured to collaborate, not compete, with other project participants.
The company:
- does not develop or operate plants
- does not compete with EPC contractors
- integrates with upstream and downstream technologies
This enables flexible collaboration across a wide range of project configurations.
