The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Very pleasing to read new media reports about Velocys...I think there may be much more to come from the tie in's with the Government and major players.......
The UK will aim to be the first country to build a net zero emissions commercial airliner capable of crossing the Atlantic, transport secretary Grant Shapps confirmed today.
Speaking in the House of Commons this morning, Shapps said that the country had set up the so-called “Jet Zero” council specifically with that goal in mind.
“That will involve not just investment in sustainable aviation fuels, of which money has already been invested but also work on electric planes, hybrid planes and hydrogen planes as well,” he said. “You can expect to be hearing a lot more.”
On Tuesday prime minister Boris Johnson raised a few eyebrows when he highlighted the scheme in his speech on the recovery of the UK economy post-coronavirus.
Speaking in Dudley, Johnson said that the UK should aim to be a “science superpower”, adding that creating the world’s first long-haul zero emissions plane should be part of its 2050 net zero target.
The “Jet Zero” council, which has been charged with making such flights possible “within a generation”, comprises ministers, businesses, trade bodies and environmental groups.
Although a list of participating businesses is yet to be announced, £500,000 has been awarded to renewable fuel maker Velocys, which turns household waste into jet fuel.
European aerospace giant Airbus is one of several companies who have said that they will aim to make the next generation of aircraft much cleaner by environmental standards.
Aviation trade body ADS boss Paul Everitt called on more funding to make the plan a reality.

Anyone taking a blind bit of notice of this habitual scum bag needs their head examined.
Just click on her/his name and read the posts this year. Almost without exception they are posting negative thoughts and comments to encourage investors to sell. I wonder what the FCA would have to say about it. Report them.
Among its efforts will be to drive step changes in the efficiency of engines, as well as working together with the fuels industry to ramp up the availability of lower carbon alternative fuels. I wonder?
thurgarton because he is evil weasel. If we had taken his advice none of us would have made the profits we have. He no doubt gets pleasure from having talked some shareholders into selling up at 3p and below. They have every reason to report this scum of a person to the FCA. Anyone who cares to view his posts will realise how twisted and inaccurate his posts are. Just check him out. It is there for all to see.....
And another 100,000 13.30p 13.35pm
And another one at 13.27p..150,000 Someone is building a stake.
Over the recent days the MM's have been showing 2 hr delayed trades that look like sells at current price but actually were buys. example 150,000 at 13.21 looks like a sell but at 1.20 pm was actually a buy. just so you know...
Expatbrat tbh.... that is a laugh..honesty does not even fester under your finger nails... the rubbish you have posted over the years... no one hear believes one word of what you have to say!
I am always wary of comments like this...but on this occasion I think it merits a closer look at. I am putting it out there that I think there is an accumulator of shares and that could well be friendly and a large organisation (Shell) is buying a stake in Velocys as a precursor to a friendly take over. Price ?? it has to be 30p+ to take out the institutional investors who bought in much higher price even taking into account the more recent placings.
Let's see where this ends up...
With even buys and sells today. I would be looking to consolidate the rise and set new bases.
This is a useful post by Spurious..
Just a few years ago Velocys had a massively oversubscribed fundraise at 230p per share. Such was the positive sentiment in the company and its world class technology that the placing was at a premium to the existing share price.
So what has changed
Not the technology
Put simply we had a clueless BOD led by a CEO who literally "Pummelled" shareholders through corporate incompetence, delayed decision making, and over promising. These days have gone
So what has changed
We have a new BOD who have backed the company with their own cash (more director purchases appreciated guys) and have been major influencers both in their careers and current roles driving govt thinking in green energy through chairing committees and putting Velocys front and centre .They are exactly the right people at the right time for Velocys and importantly have the savvy when it comes to raising the finance and partnering that will be needed going forward.
I have no doubt whatsoever that Velocys could today raise the necessary funding at a premium to the existing share price such is the demand for their shares and the total belief in their technology and strategy backed by Govt.
Sentiment is the driver of shareholder value and after the last few years of real negativity we are witnessing a truly seismic shift which in my view will drive the share price back towards 30p in the next few months and back towards the levels of those previous highs.as milestones are achieved
Long term holders know how quickly the share price moves both ways .The last few years has been unrelentingly down driven by the negative sentiment so given the massive shift (Right product ,right people, right now) We are not surprised by the speed of any rise from these current very low levels .
Onwards and upwards
Oh my goodness..the slime ball just can't keep away...another of his/ her lies...just stay off this board and speak your untruths elsewhere!
You get bashed expatbrat because you tell a load of untruths. Fortunately the vast majority of this expanded BB don't believe a single word you say now- as they have viewed your posts since September 18 and realise you are not a very nice person and cannot be trusted.
OMG..I cannot believe this guy ...I think he/she has lost their mind...how many posts in some vain attempt to lie and coerce other readers. Thank goodness this board has got the measure of him and his AKA owenski on the ADVFN board.
Steer well clear ...
On a positive note...

No where on this f'ing planet. Enough said
You are a laughing stock EPB
Well I think it is clear to all that this weirdo is clinically....Ins**** anyone with an iota of logic will not trust, listen, take any interest in the garbage this sad and intoxicated individual has to offer...if you have any sense read this twisted individual's posts over the last year...it will be the most illuminating 15 minutes you have ever spent.
Expatbrat...you continue to spout rubbish...it's going to be 10p tomorrow then it is all doom and gloom...anyone here with any sense will ignore your lies. You should be banned from this site. Just read his comments going back as long as you want...just an evil twisted individual.
Expatbrat...you are so fake...everyone look at his previous posts over the last couple of months.
He could know the seller. Hold fire.
