Humber region awarded freeport status in the budget.

"In England, companies inside the sites will also be offered temporary tax breaks, mostly lasting five years. These include reductions to the tax companies pay on their existing property, and when they buy new buildings. Employers will also pay reduced national insurance for new staff"


Edit; more info here (4 Mar 2021):

"Specifically, businesses in these tax sites will be able to benefit from:

• An enhanced 10 per cent rate of Structures and Buildings Allowance. This means firms’ investments will be fully tax relieved after 10 years;

• An enhanced capital allowance of 100 per cent for companies investing in plant and machinery until September 30, 2026;

• Full relief from Stamp Duty Land Tax on the purchase of land or property until September 30, 2026;

• Full Business Rates relief until September 30, 2026;

• Employer National Insurance contributions relief available for eligible employees until at least April 2026."

Not much point unles they manage the forests on a global scale. Forest fires and volcano activity swamp motive power effects - It all might be a waste of time and effort! - Reminds me of King Canute! - nothing bigger than nature!

(Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC on Friday said it intends to set up the first commercial bio-power-to-liquid plant to produce sustainable aviation fuels in the Wesseling section of the Rheinland refinery, Germany.

In addition, the Anglo-Dutch oil & gas firm said capacity of the polymer electrolyte membrane hydrogen electrolysis plant, which Shell is currently completing in the Wesseling plant together with ITM Power PLC and Linde PLC, is to be increased tenfold from the current 10 megawatts to 100 megawatts. Construction of this facility is expected to start in 2022.

Shell said it, together with its partners, have applied for funding from the EU and Germany for both projects. A final investment decision for both projects is still pending.

"The Rheinland refinery is the engine and heart of Shell's activities in Germany and will play a key role in providing the products that are increasingly different from our current crude oil-dominated range and that will increasingly convert to regenerative solutions such as synthetic and biofuels as well as green hydrogen," explained refinery Director Marco Richrath.

"We will only be able to maintain mobility in the future if it is made more sustainable and road users can significantly reduce emissions on the road, on water and in the air. To make this possible, the location's product portfolio will and must change significantly," added Fabian Ziegler, chief executive of Shell Deutschland Oil.

I said i'd go back in below 7...but small illiquid shares are being squeezed by the likes of IG. 5.5 looks more likely

Velocys on Scaling Up Net Negative, Carbon Capture-Ready Fuels
17 Feb 2021 | PODCAST | BY: TAMMY KLEIN

Following the successful Q&A roundtable discussion on the future of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in December 2020, I decided to do a video podcast series with several SAF producers and technology developers to get their insight into the future of SAF. For this video podcast, I spoke to both Neville Hargreaves, Vice President, Waste to Fuels and Drew Miller, Project Finance Director of Velocys about their SAF projects in the U.S. (Bayou Fuels) and in the UK (Altalto). We also talked about how they see the policy and market environment unfolding over the next 5-10 years. Following are several excerpts from our discussion, which you can view or download below, or listen to in ITunes.



Podcast (video) 36 mins long... but deffo worth a watch.

Lol who are you mr scientific you know f all

[mcmather] 10/2/2021 18:09

Aye, just found it odd that another company competing in the same (general) market (SAF) would reference your potentially competing product, and do so twice.

LanzaTech's and Velocys' technologies do not match. LanzaTech converts CO & hydrogen to ethanol in a fermentation process at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Velocys converts CO and hydrogen, in a specific ratio, with a particular catalyst in a high temperature and high pressure process called Fischer-Tropsch.

Similar stuff here also from today - "British Airways Fuels Its Future with Second Sustainable Aviation Fuel Partnership";

This mentions the BA / Velocys partnership twice; just a little intriguing that this is from LanzaTech, the parent company of LanzaJet - ie a direct competitor. Collaborations down the line perhaps??

[mcmather] 09/2/2021 14:53

Similar piece in the guardian mentions its partnership with Velocys. Interest is picking up.

"BA’s owner, IAG, which has pledged to invest almost £300m in SAF as part of its pledge to decarbonise by 2050, said it would investigate building a refinery with LanzaTech in the UK, as well as a waste-to-fuel plant in partnership with Velocys"

This bit could prove interesting "...will be delivered by Toyo and their partners, potentially in Japan and other regions"

Re the piece from Worley, it stemmed from one of their tweet's posted at 10.00 3 Feb 2021:

"Imagine a world where what you throw out could fuel your next flight…and reduce your carbon footprint, too. We're on our way to making that world a reality with @Velocys"




They seem confident as far as the FEED is concerned.

[crackfoxsteve] 04/2/2021 09:51

Worley are a project management consultant - they provide delivery services for complex projects (like this).

So its likely that Worley are 'working for' Velocys as opposed to 'with'.

I see it as good news - it could be seen to confirm that construction starts soon.
