British Airways has signed an agreement with a host of aviation solutions firms to extend a project aiming to develop cost-effective sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for commercial use in the UK.British Airways partnered with LanzaJet and Nova Pangaea Technologies to launch Project Speedbird in 2021. The project aims to develop SAFs in the UK for commercial use.Project Speedbird was initially granted nearly £500,000 by the Department for Transport's (DfT) Green Fuels, Green Skies competition to fund an initial feasibility study for the early-stage development of the project. Now, the company has applied for the Department's Advanced Fuels Fund grant for additional funding, as part of the department's Jet Zero strategy which includes implementing a SAF mandate to come into force in 2025. This will require at least 10% of UK jet fuel to be SAF by 2030.The process will see agricultural and wood waste taken and converted into bioethanol and biochar. LanzaJet's patented alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology will then convert it into SAFs.The conversion will take place at a UK facility, which is planned to be built in North East England. Construction could begin as early as 2023 and SAFs are expected to be produced by 2026.

Re 5813 above, shame that Shell pulled out of sharing Immingham with us & BA in 2021. Will Velocys perhaps be supplying to Shell's new plants in the US?

It's always going to happen. How well placed are VLS in the bigger scheme of things? Any patents we need to look at?

They supply the catalyst

Agree, they seem like a real estate and shell company for the other companies that will actually be producing and selling the fuel. They are providing nothing but engineering advice? Do loads of capital raising (one just done recently), use the shareholders cash to finance the business, possibly load the company up with the debt. Then, possibly let it eventually go bust with the assets all sold off into the "real companies" this then becomes a cash shell and fleeces shareholders? I could be wrong?I read an article recently were they are apparently buying and holding the Immingham site and will transfer/sell it to Altalo, who are actually producing the fuel.Any advice welcome??

I've built a small stake here -

Coming up this winter, there will interest in energy, particularly green energy -

Looking strong, albeit a tad over bought.

Half Year results on the 21/9. Hopefully some news on the future too.
