Red Rock Biofuels sets groundbreaking for summer but Velocys still waiting for order

In Oregon, Red Rock Biofuels announced it was ready to start construction on its biorefinery in Lakeview but Velocys said it has yet to receive a notice to proceed for the manufacture of its Fischer-Tropsch reactors and catalyst for the plant, and will make a further announcement in due course. Red Rock’s CFO told local press that a groundbreaking ceremony was expected over the summer and the facility could be commissioned in 2020 after 18 months of construction.
