Velocys focus:• Renewable jet fuel production in the UK with Shell and BA

— Waste-to-jet biorefinery has started pre-FEED stage• Renewable diesel production in the US

— Mississippi biorefinery project completed pre-FEED stage• ENVIA landfill gas-to-fuels JV has proven the Velocys Fischer-Tropsch

(FT) technology at commercial scaleVelocys FT technology enables:• Economic conversion of wide range of low cost, abundant feedstocks

(like municipal waste and woody biomass) into high value fuels• Distributed smaller scale biorefineries• Fuels that qualify for high value credits in the US (federal and state),

UK, and other countries to follow• Meeting strong demand from corporations for greenhouse gas (GHG)

and particulate reductions (up to 70% and 90% respectively4,5)• Entirely “drop-in” into conventional fossil fuels with no blend limitations

for naphtha and diesel and 50% for jet fuel

There is an abundant low cost feedstock supply of waste and woody biomassglobally

Velocys fuels can yield GHG and particulate reductions of up to 70% and 90%respectively4,5

Accelerating demand continues to outstrip available supply and this is forecast tocontinue

Legislation promoting advanced biofuels has been established in US since 2006and the UK in 2018. Momentum is building in many other countries

Airlines are aggressively seeking solutions to reduce their carbon emissions andmany have invested into renewable jet fuel projects

Notes: see notes 1 & 3, all values indicative

UK Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires 5% renewable-derived sourcingfor large resellers beginning in 2019 (up to 12.4% by 2032)13

Velocys fuels are drop-in fuels with no impact on engine design and supply chain

Velocys’ first-of-a-kind commercial scale proven technology and business modelenable entry to renewable fuels markets to grow a material supply position

Mississippi biorefinery update

8Notes: see notes 1 & 3

• Project development strategic investment process to onboard one or morestrategic investors is underway and on track

• Site secured in Natchez, Mississippi with $60m of state/local incentives

• In US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Loan Guarantee phase II process— With Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp (SMBC) as the lender of record

• Final investment decision expected in early 2020

• Significant value uplift from feedstock at equivalent $1/gallon to finalproducts at $8.20/gallon15

— Of which federal credits (approximately 50%), state credits(approximately 25%) and product revenues (approximately 25%)

• Team is delivering a complex programme of activities— Working with partners and licensors to further commercially de-risk the

project through maximising product revenues and minimising costs

• Project is on track to deliver an investable first-of-its-kind project

UK waste-to-jet fuel project update• Development partnership in place with Shell and BA for a commercial scale waste to

renewable jet fuel biorefinery— 10 million gallons per year capacity— Experienced global players in both production and consumption of biofuels— Velocys project development team supported by the significant experience and

competencies of its partners

• RTFO legislation has created strong policy support for biofuels in the UK

• The project is proceeding at pace— Project feasibility study is complete— Pre-FEED funded by £4.5m partner investment and approximately £0.5m UK DfT

grant— FEED expected to start in H1 2019

• Significant benefits to Velocys— Supports messaging of “Velocys, the renewable fuels company”— Validates our strategy and business model to attract strategic investors and open

up a second market— Demonstrates our renewable feedstock flexibility (landfill natural gas, woody

biomass residues and municipal waste)

ENVIA update• Velocys is a JV partner in ENVIA

• Commercial scale Oklahoma City plant converts landfill gas to diesel, naphtha and wax

• Velocys’ FT technology data will be used in commercial discussions with future strategicpartners for the Company’s US and UK projects

• Key ENVIA milestones— October 2017; met performance and regulatory requirements by reaching

200 barrels per day operational capacity— December 2017: completed qualification run for Renewable Identification Number

(RIN credits) registration— March 2018: RINs verified— April 2018+: ENIVA has sold D7 RINs and its liquid products to contracted 3rd

parties

• Current operations— Operating in reduced production due to a reactor leak event— Coolant system on the second FT reactor modified and operating procedures

updated— Second FT reactor has been operated in the same operating cycle during which the

first reactor developed the leak, without incident

Red Rock Biofuels – Lakeview project

12Notes: see notes 1 & 2

• Red Rock Biofuels (RRB) recently announced construction of a biorefinery inOregon— To produce diesel and jet fuel— Offtake agreements in place for all future jet fuel production with several

major airlines— Will use Velocys FT technology under licence— Velocys received $6m from RRB in May 2018— Deal worth around $15m to Velocys during construction and early operation

stages of the plant plus $30m over the life of the biorefinery

• Velocys now implementing supply chain activities to deliver reactors andcatalyst

• As licensor of FT technology, Velocys is working closely with RRB and theirEPC to support the project through construction to operation

• Our business model is to both develop our own biorefineries and license our FTtechnology where it makes strategic and commercial sense

• RRB project further validates the attractiveness of the US woody biomass torenewable fuels market

The "Reference" is EIA's base casewhile its "Extended Policies" case assumes future extensions of some major energy policies, including various energy tax credits,fuel economy regulations for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, and CO2 emissions standards for existing power plants. Thedecline in diesel (and gasoline) demand in the Extended Policies case is attributed to EIA's assumption that fuel economystandards will continue to be tightened
