"Investing in the development of sustainable aviation fuel to reduce emission by 70% or more
As a group we’ve committed $400 million towards the development of sustainable aviation fuel in the next 20 years. We’ve also invested directly in two first-of-a-kind plants with Velocys and LanzaJet, which could start to deliver sustainable fuel from as early as next year with life cycle emissions that are 70% less CO2 than fossil based jet fuel. "

Got the cold shoulder from Panmure Gordon,
If anyone has any updates tomorrow please share, Thanks

My reply .....

Dear Mr *******
Unfortunately this event is only open to institutional investors that are clients of Panmure Gordon. As such, it is with regret that I will not be able to send registration details. Please accept my apologies in this instance.

If it gets anywhere near 70% blend for SAF ..I'll be amazed .... Anything above 15% to start with is a success

Not sure that's been announced yet by Southwest.

Not really ... Mr Pink

The research team say they are planning to scale up the production of the new fuel and aim to have test flights with Southwest Airlines in 2023.

Interesting article yesterday night from BBC ..stems from USA side, SAF 70% blend ..wow

I emailed the marketinghumber.com on friday

This is the reply I got ... Very positive

Good afternoon Mr ********
A member of my team passed this on to me, thank you for getting in touch.
The Velocys "Altalto" biofuel project is an exciting proposition for the region and one we are keeping an eye on. Although not currently within our network, we are hoping to include this project in our future promotion of the region for investment.

Yep ... can't even buy small quantities from 2 different brokers

Bye Bye, Sirt ...
I'm not going to risk trading at these levels anymore I'm out. and good freaking luck.

I take it that's you last post then, as you have no interest in VLS.

Sirt } Ref.. Investors / Funds (VLS)

Lansdowne Partners Limited is currently the largest shareholder, with 18% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 8.3% and 7.7% of the stock.

You sound so desperate to trash VLS ..other renewable energy companies just mean good news for the sector. As more and more are looking to invest in these types of businesses.

The energy sector in renewable fuels is definitely heating up ! ...

Good find expat ....

Sirt, Please no more "if's and buts ".. getting tedious now.
