Roy Lipski, CEO

“2014 was one of the most successful years in the history of Velocys. With over US$85 million of cash on the balance sheet, the unwavering support of major partners and our first commercial plant under construction, Velocys is poised to take advantage of the significant opportunities which typically surface during times of market volatility such as these, and notwithstanding some potential near term headwinds in the oil and gas industry, to establish an even strong business and market position. Interest in smaller scale GTL remains high and I look forward to achieving the significant milestones ahead of us.”

Outlook – Pierre Jungels, Chairman

“Velocys enters 2015 with a very strong balance sheet and in the exciting position of having its first commercial reference plant under construction, which promises to be a significant catalyst for business when complete. Although volatility in the markets may cause a degree of hesitancy in the short term, companies with longer term outlook are already planning for higher oil prices or restored margins. The market for smaller scale GTL remains compelling and there are exciting opportunities ahead for Velocys. I look forward with confidence to seeing our first commercial plant in operation.”
