Summary
• Fischer-Tropsch process now economic at smaller scales— Scales consistent with biomass supply chain constraints
• Converts low value feedstock into high quality, high valuerenewable fuels— Expected to be eligible for RIN and LCFS credits
• Velocys technology: ideally suited to BTL and GTL applications— First product produced at commercial reference plant— Selected for Red Rock Biofuels’ BTL project— Developing integrated offer with partners to facilitate investment
decisions and drive roll-out of technology at pace
Smaller scale GTL and BTL using FT is now a reality

• FT route to jet fuel and diesel from biomasscan reduce lifecycle greenhouse gasemissions by ~70%
• Meets industry specifications— Jet: ASTM D7566 approved at up to
50% in blend with conventionalkerosene
— EN 15940 for synthetic diesel
• Reduces air pollution— Jet <0.5% aromatics, <15ppm sulfur— Substantial emissions improvements
• Local supply chain benefits stakeholdersand reduces fuel transport
