Oxford Catalysts nearing inflection point?
By Julie Fisher | Mon, 23rd September 2013 - 13:04

Shares in Oxford Catalysts Group (OCG) have risen 5.4% after its gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology was selected by Pinto Energy for a planned US GTL plant.

American company Pinto is planning the 2,800 barrel-per-day plant at Ashtabula, Ohio to convert natural gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale region into solvents, lubricants, waxes and transportation fuels.

It began designing the plant in April and has applied for air and water permits. The plant is expected to be operational by early 2016.

Pinto chairman Guy Dove said Oxford Catalysts, which is shortly to change its name to Velocys, was "the best choice for smaller-scale GTL".

Oxford Catalysts' technology could also be used at a number of other small-scale GTL plants which Pinto hopes to develop across Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Texas and the Gulf Coast.

In an interview with Interactive Investor earlier in September, Oxford Catalysts chief executive Roy Lipksi said technology stocks such as his own were "defined by these big re-rating events" as they proved themselves as viable concepts.

"There is another on the horizon, when our first customer commits to construction of a plant," he added. "That will be a big inflection point for us."

This was in The Times this morning –
Deal of the Day: Graphene NanoChem jumped 10.7% to 72¼p after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved both its biofuel product, made from waste oils and fatty acids derived from the palm oil industry, and its Malaysian chemicals facility. PlatClear can now be sold in a market that is forecast to be the world's largest for biofuels by 2017.

There are plenty of other companies in various stages of coming to market that some may perceive to be competitors to OCG

When parliaments (and philanthropic private companies like Google or Gates Foundation), foresee problems on the horizon they incentivise research companies with grants and awards in order to seek solutions.

In this instance we are looking at greenhouse gas emissions and reducing our carbon footprint. All those companies, such as CompactGTL are looking for solutions to different problems, be it clean fuel, reducing flaring or producing electric power.

The EU got involved a couple of years ago. The target is to produce a couple of million tons of sustainable biofuel by 2020. Then the target will be to ramp up production until they attain that figure annually with nine plants.

The immediate target is to get the first facility up and running by 2015 – it will take 2-3 years to build so time is running out if they want to keep to schedule.

It is expected that by this time a lot of companies will be losing their subsidies, leaving the way clear for the efficient ones to clean up. (including OCG hopefully)

Here is what I have come across....

Linc Energy have connected with D.TEK as legal counsel agreement late August..

Background on D.TEK

DTEK is an energy holding company headquartered in Donetsk, Ukraine. The company is owned by SCM Holdings, a holding company of a Ukrainian businessman Rinat Akhmetov. It was formed in 2002 and is an association of various companies from coal mining to power generation. The CEO of the company is Maksym Tymchenko.[1] The name of the company is an abbreviation from its original name Donbass Fuel-Energy Company in Russian.

DTEK ownes three large Ukrainian coal-mining companies: DTEK Pavlogradvuhillia (ten mines), DTEK Dobropilliavuhillia (five mines) and DTEK Mine Komosomolets Donbassa. It owns also five coal preparation plants.

It's owner is Rinat Akhmetov's - DTEK have expressed interest in coal extraction and processing, while expensive gas makes the business ever more profitable and opens new prospects for coal bed gas extraction. DTEK is not only concentrating its coal mining assets in Ukraine, but is also increasing coal extraction in Eastern (Russian) Donbas in the Rostov Oblast.

In December 2012, DTEK's subsidiary DTEK Oil and Gas signed a memorandum of understanding with Australian synthetic fuel company Linc Energy to evaluate potential of the underground coal gasification on the DTEK's coal resources.

Note- Chukotka is in the Ukraine.

From Bounty hunter..Another knowledgeable poster...There is no 'official' link between Linc Energy and OCG but Linc's CEO and major shareholder Peter Bond let it slip a while ago at the company's AGM that they were trialling a Velocys reactor. He was raving about it being 6 times more efficient than the technology they were using at the time and even put up a picture of the very recognisable 50bpd reactor (which looks ancient compared to the pictures of the finished product released in the last couple of months) A few days after the presentation was put on-line the section I have described above disappeared without a trace, then a few months later it was announced that a unit had been purchased by an unnamed company operating in the Asia Pacific region!If Linc are successful in getting their UCG projects commercialised, the implications for the use of coal as an energy source could be massive and their primary aim will be to turn as much of it as possible into diesel and jet fuel via Fischer Tropsch, an almost forgotten technology that Velocys are aiming to make possible on a very small scale with compelling economics!When Roy Lipski talks about Velocys being one of tomorrows 'great companies' do There is no 'official' link between Linc Energy and OCG but Linc's CEO and major shareholder Peter Bond let it slip a while ago at the company's AGM that they were trialling a Velocys reactor.

Linc Energy Quarter Report PAGE 6

Rinat Leonidovych Akhmetov (Ukrainian: born on 21 September 1966) is a Ukrainian businessman and oligarch. He is the founder and President of System Capital Management (SCM), and is ranked among the wealthiest men in the nation. As of March 2013, he was listed as the 47th richest man in the world with an estimated net worth of US 15.4 billion. There have been claims Akhmetov has been involved in organized crime.[5][6] Akhmetov is also the owner and President of the Ukrainian football club Shakhtar Donetsk. In 2006–2007 and 2007–2012 Akhmetov was a member of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) for the Party of Regions.

The Chukotka Autonomous Region could soon become Russia's first province to launch an underground coal gasification project.

UCG is an innovative technology that converts coal into synthetic gas fuel with the help of oxygen, without mining that coal first.

The technology makes it possible to exploit coal reserves that would be uneconomical to produce by traditional methods. The gas output of UCG facilities can be used to generate electricity or synthesize liquid fuel.

Specialists of Australia's Linc Energy are now looking for coal fields in Chukotka that would be suitable for UCG. The company has partnered with Russia's Yakut Minerals which is part of the Ervington Investment group controlled by the Russian billionaire Mr Roman Abramovich.

Yakut Minerals and Linc Energy signed an agreement to study the possibility of launching a joint UCG project in Chukotka last June. The project will go ahead if a suitable coal field block can be found.

Mr Adam Bond, head of Clean Energy, a division of Linc Energy, has said that the information gathered so far about the Chukotka coal fields makes him optimistic about the outlook for UCG technology in the region.

Yakut Minerals chief Mr Georgy Aleksandrov has said that the existing geological reports from several coal blocks including areas near the Ugolnaya and Nagornaya mines, suggest that they are suitable for the deployment of the UCG technology.

Rinat Akhmetov and Roman Abramovich

Rinat :-As far as I know, Roman is expected to arrive tomorrow. What are we going to talk about? About life, and in general about anything other than football, because I think that he and I will be agitated. He will mark his birthday the day after tomorrow, and we will try to do our best for his team not to congratulate him. We have good and warm friendships.....

The links (Lincs pardon the pun) all seem to be there for a very significant step change to Linc Energy and our technology...I think it is only a matter of time before we hear something.

Anybody care to comment on the fact that QFI have now reached just about the same stage as OCG ?
Mkt value of qfi seems to be less than OCG, although they will be making limited trial sales this year?

Should they both have the same value?

haydock - 1797 - not sure I understand the question, but PHE is not a competitor to OCG. Maybe to Solena and other waste to gas companies (see and ) If any of them want oil from their gas (as Solena do for Greensky) they need to come and talk to OCG.

PHE looks like a company to stay well away from. What happened to the founders' US deal last year?

Solena has a cutting edge technology, "plasma gasification"

They think of themselves as "solution providers" - they do this by bringing on board technology partners who are "best of breed"

They selected OCG for the "British Airways Greensky London Project" to provide FT technology which will be integrated with plasma gasification.

Solena and OCG also have an understanding for supply to Solena's pipeline of future plants which include California, Rome, Stockholm and Berlin

the process is in two stages -
1/ waste/biomass to syngas (Solena)
2/ syngas to jetfuel, electricity etc (OCG)

............
just my take on it - I could be wrong!
Posted at 01/8/2013 11:03 by rupe1958
Seems a very interesting company.
Apologies to posters who are v familiar with the story, but can anyone explain hte relationship between Solena and OCG?
Presumably Solena are clients for OCG's portable F-T convertors?
Biofuels for aviation has got to be a huge growth business.
Posted at 23/5/2013 16:07 by pablo666
Anyone came across this?


Apparently Solena has been planning plants all over the world to deliver BtL fuels for aviation, and London is just one of many. The link doesn't mention however, if OCG are involved in any of the other, but if not OCG then who else would? (given OCG are part of the solution Solena markets)

For the record, GreenSky London with solena has been mentioned first around 2010, yet only in 2012 the announced OCG are involved. Does that mean that OCG are most likely to be involved in all the other Solena plans? Thoughts?

This just out....
OCG SpeedRead
January 2013

OCG is the only smaller scale Fischer-Tropsch (FT) provider to be announcing selection for commercial projects, so it is little surprise that we ended 2012 with an oversubscribed fundraising, achieved under difficult market conditions. The £30.6 million share placement is a huge vote of confidence in our technology and potential. We are delighted by the very significant support received from existing shareholders, several new major institutional investors and our new strategic investor, Ervington Investments, owned by Roman Abramovich. These funds will allow us to accelerate forward, consolidating our market lead and driving the commercial roll out of our technology. The markets are beginning to appreciate our potential – OCG stock has been the best performing share in the AIM 100 over the past 6 months (up 161%). 2013 promises to be a landmark year for our business.

Roy Lipski, CEO
What's new?

Ventech Collaboration
After working closely together for over a year on the design of a fully integrated, shop fabricated, modular Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) plant, in November OCG solidified its relationship with Ventech by entering into a series of agreements. As a result, OCG's US-based subsidiary Velocys has become Ventech's preferred supplier of FT technology in North America, and Ventech agreed to place an order by 29th March 2013 for a set of FT reactors for use in the first commercial modular GTL plant. Furthermore, through Ventech Project Investments LP, $200 million was made available to make equity investments in energy projects, including co-investment in GTL plants.
GreenSky London Progress Update
As a follow-up to our selection in July 2012 as the sole FT supplier for GreenSky London and future sustainable jet fuels plants developed by Solena Fuels, in November British Airways (BA), a partner in the GreenSky project, announced several significant milestones. BA confirmed its commitment to purchase the sustainable jet fuel produced by the plant for ten years, a contract worth $500 million (£315 million) at current prices. They also confirmed that consent work has begun on the site for the plant, Pre-Front-End Engineering and Design work has started, and a target production date of 2015 has been confirmed.
Mourik Agreement for Commercial Catalyst Handling
In November we announced the signing of a service agreement with Mourik LP to provide catalyst handling services for commercial FT reactors. The replacement of spent catalyst with fresh catalyst every two to five years is required for all FT technologies, and we are very pleased to be working with a worldwide leader for this vital activity as we ensure our readiness for commercial roll-out.
£30.6 million Share Placing
As already mentioned, in December, OCG was pleased to announce the successful placing of new shares to raise approximately £30.6 million. The oversubscribed placing had significant support from existing shareholders, several major new institutional investors and a new strategic investor. The naming of the new strategic investor, Roman Abramovich's Ervington Investments Ltd, at OCG's Shareholder's General Meeting on 3rd January 2013 attracted widespread media attention. See 'In the press', (below).
On the conference circuit

Steve LeViness, FT Product Manager, presented at Energy Frontiers International Gas-to-Market & Energy Conversion Forum on 22nd October in Houston, Texas. His talk was entitled "Opportunities for Modular GTL in North America".

In the press

The Group received wide coverage from the UK national print and broadcast media in early January 2013 following the announcement that Roman Abramovich's company, Ervington Investments Ltd was OCG's new strategic investor.

Neville Hargreaves, Business Development Director, was interviewed by BBC South Today and BBC Radio Oxford. The news received coverage in The Times, The Financial Times and The Sun (UK's most widely read paper), amongst many other UK national papers.

On 5th January, The Financial Times ran the article "Abramovich invests in 'gas-to-liquids' in UK. Roman Abramovich, the billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club, has invested £5m in a small UK technology company that specialises in..." (Full article for registered subscribers).

OCG's shares continue to be featured and recommended in the investor media; for example see Red Hot Penny Shares in December and Small Company Share Watch in January.

During the past quarter, OCG, Gas-to-Liquids and Biomass-to-Liquids continued to attract wide coverage in the technical and business press:
Roy Lipski is quoted in an article that appeared in Forbes entitled, "Gas-to-Liquids Plants: No Longer Exclusive to Larger Players", on 17th January.

A feature article discussing OCG's collaboration with Ventech entitled, "Modular design of smaller-scale GTL plants", appeared in the Q1 2013 edition of Petroleum Technology Quarterly.

Roy Lipski was interviewed by World Gas Intelligence in Vol. XXIII, No. 51 on December 19th headlined "Small GTL's Market Reach as Great as Opec's, UK Firm Says".

On 20th November, Biofuels Digest asked "Little Big Tech: Can Fischer-Tropsch technology work at smaller scale?"

Company news
