Velocys collaborates with prominent partners such as British Airways and Shell for waste-to-jet-fuel projects. Its technology, protected by over 900 patents, is designed for smaller-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) and biomass-to-liquids (BTL) processes, enabling efficient conversion even in remote or challenging locations. Velocys operates in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Asia Pacific, with a majority of its revenue generated from the Americas.
