The gasification of waste has a litany of failures. As far as we know, VLS has not gasified any waste as yet, so it’ll be very difficult to justify going straight to a commercial sized facility with no demo scale experience. They really need to take this one step at a time.
Of course, this all depends on the risk appetite of project investors and how good VLS is at talking the talk. Given they’ve been trying to finance the Mississippi plant for years, without success, suggests that talking the talk needs some work too.
Thank you all,
I have a couple of friends in the waste sector, who have been looking at potential energy outputs, so I may ask them to have a look over the science on this.
I know they have been successful at making fuel from sewerage but understand this is different.

Less risk averse possibly. But this is a still a half billion pound project, the process of which VLS has not proven at any scale. Investors (and I mean serious ones, not ones putting in a couple of million quid) are not going to overlook such a fact.
Investment climate has changed due to weather climate change
DM: very doable!?! Velocys is looking for over two years for investors for the Bayou Fuels plant which requires a similar investment. Maybe the investment climate in the UK has changed and it became much less risk adverse.
Lots of figures being referenced by VLS. One minute it’s £500m then it’s £350m.
They have a lot of work to do before they can even begin to start talking to banks about half billion pound projects.
Focus on the next 12 months and the funding needed to get the project to a advanced state.
500m to build. Very doable, I think it will be built & investment will be found quite easy even in this covid climate. It's the future change in aviation forever we are talking about...I'm very optimistic
Not a holder of this share yet, just completing my research, does anyone have any links or ideas on the construction costs of the U.K. plant, and how this will be funded going forward?
I like what I have read so far.
