Velocys Achieves Over 30% Cost Reduction for microFTL Technology with Streamlined Delivery
Velocys Achieves Significant Cost Reductions for microFTL Technology
In a substantial breakthrough in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development, Velocys announced on February 19, 2026, that it has successfully implemented manufacturing and delivery efficiencies that lead to a striking cost reduction of more than 30% for its microFTL™ technology. This advancement not only bolsters the company's financial viability but also accelerates the progress of two significant Fischer-Tropsch (FT) SAF projects: Altalto in the UK and NovaSAF™ 1 in Uruguay.
Enhanced Manufacturing Efficiencies
The foundation for this cost reduction is a comprehensive reassessment of Velocys's microFTL technology, which involved close collaboration with strategic manufacturing partners. By focusing on reactor fabrication, design standardization, and delivery optimization, Velocys has effectively streamlined its processes. These changes ensure that the technology is not only cost-effective but also meets industry performance and operability standards.
As the global demand for SAF rises—fueled by goals for aviation decarbonization—developers and investors have pinpointed cost as a crucial factor in scaling up SAF production. Velocys's innovations address this concern, and the company's CEO, Mathew Viergutz, has emphasized the importance of
