Planning application update

Velocys continues to progress the planning application on behalf of Altalto Immingham Limited to develop the first commercial scale sustainable aviation fuel facility in the UK.

The Company has been working closely throughout with North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) and with all statutory consultees as part of the usual planning process.

As part of this process, an Addendum to the Environmental Statement has now been submitted, providing additional information and technical clarifications to assist in the consideration of the application by consultees. The further information presented in the Addendum will now be subject to the usual 30-day consultation period. Alongside the existing Environmental Statement, it will form part of the formal planning application to NELC and can be viewed on the NELC website.

Henrik Wareborn, Velocys CEO, said:

"Through our positive dialogue with all consultees and the Environmental Statement Addendum we are confident that we have provided all necessary   additional information   at this stage,  and  we look forward to completing the planning process. "
