RNS from 08 October 2007 includes the following:

Oxford Catalysts, the leading catalyst innovator for clean fuels, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a world-leading fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) multinational to explore the use of Oxford Catalysts' proprietary technology for Instant Steam.

Roy Lipski, Chief Executive of Oxford Catalysts said:

We are very excited about our Trigger Steam technology and the potential represented by the process we've embarked upon with this leading global consumer goods giant. The possible uses of our technology are vast. We're confident that we have found a partner that is ideally positioned to help us capitalise on its promise in a number of mass-market applications.

The Times Rumour of the Day had this to say today:

There is talk that more cleaning product suppliers and manufacturers are taking an interest in the instant steam products being developed by Oxford Catalysts. The Oxford University spin-off two weeks ago confirmed this pages rumour that it had signed an outline deal with a consumer giant to develop a spray can cleaner.

I bought shares in this yesterday and its already showing a profit! Today the sp moved up 5% to 160-166p. I believe there's good potential here.

Toya/anyone
Can you explain the fall on 24Nov08...the company note mentions share transaction, but I can't understand what it means - is it dilution that shifted the sp so much?
-Or- was it the Options, representing considerable generosity, if I buy stocks I'm reluctant to line Dir's pockets - they do receive a salary.
I understand this co makes high-tech catalysts and (a steam cleaner) is soon to be sold nationally ( but maybe delayed by Crunch?)...but I didn't like the high sp. Now, with the fall I'm not convinced this represents Value-rather something akin to a "shock"...makes me nervous.
Anyone...?

EDIT (30March09)- no then?
Still it's down again to 47p on news of further losses - did the steaming thingy not pass Marketing Dept ( of Big Household..)....?

I've not looked at this for ages, but today's RNS says that they've got the funding they needed, and at 2% interest:

"Oxford Catalysts gets $2.25m R&D facility
Business Financial Newswire
Oxford Catalysts' US subsidiary Velocys has been awarded a $2.25m R&D drawdown facility from the State of Ohio.
The facility can be called on at any time over the next two years and is repayable over ten years, with a 2% fixed rate of interest. The company plans to use it to help finance any capital investments needed to bring its technology to market.

Oxford Catalysts CEO Roy Lipski said, 'The favourable terms offered by the State allow us to further invest in consolidating our leading market position in synthetic fuels."

Also, I noticed on the VIY thread the Master RSI has posted this today:

"Tipped in RHPS last night ..................

'And from my Three Tiny Oil Stocks... report, I am really excited about both Oxford Catalysts (ticker: OCG) and especially Vialogy (ticker: VIY).' "

Not sure I'm getting back into OCG just now though will praps add to my watchlist again.

Currently 60p and still I see little sign that the "steam can" has reached our beleagured High Street. Sadly, I suspect they'll sell like hot-cakes for a week or two and then the price will defy any logic = unless there is any USP, like it receives Approval for deep-cleaning of health surfaces....for any "industrial" application (like Resturant kitchens, hotels etc. ) will already have a steam-cleaner - rather like a larger varsion of "wallpaper strippers"

I'm not sure about this US (Ohio- DYOR) money woun't be ring-fenced for US production/research, although there is a small hope other countries will benefit, the real purpose (I guess!) is to provide employment in Ohio, a State that has its share of low-wage earners.
Toya - on my semi-watchlist now, but I'm not impressed yet.

brokers on the boil, looks like they think its got a lot further to go:

I like to keep an eye open for small-cap growth possibilities, and next week we'll have one in the shape of Oxford Catalysts Group , which is due to release interim figures on Friday. The shares have put on a spurt of late, gaining 35% in September to today's price of 77p, and they're more than 50% up on their low point around the beginning of the year.

The company is not profitable yet, with losses forecast for this year and next, but over the past six months it has been steadily picking up contracts to provide its technology to synthetic fuel production projects -- and that's clearly a market that could have great potential.

It could well be one for tech-savvy growth investors to keep an eye on.

Oxford Catalyst shares take off as BA agrees $500mln jet fuel deal
Fri 4:24 pm by Jamie AshcroftBritish Airways has agreed to buy sustainable jet fuel from the plant over a ten year period.

Oxford Catalyst Group (LON:OCG) shares rocketed nearly 30% on Friday as the jet fuel innovator revealed a number of key milestones had been reached in an exciting project with British Airways.

The AIM-quoted gas-to-liquids expert is the project developer for a new plant, called GreenSky London, which will be operated by US bio-fuel specialist Solena.

It will use OCG’s patented technology as part of the process to turn waste-biomass into jet fuel.

Today it was also revealed that British Airways, the airline owned by International Consolidated Airlines Group (LON:IAG), has agreed to buy the sustainable jet fuel from the plant over a ten year period, in a deal worth US$500mln (£315mln) at current prices.

British Airways says the project is now well on the way to making sustainable aviation fuel a reality.

Today’s breakthroughs sparked a sharp rise in the shares, which have now more than doubled since September. Heading into the close on AIM OCG shares were up 32.35p, or 28%, at 146p each.

"Today's confirmation of British Airways' financial commitment to the project represents a major step forward for GreenSky London,” said chief executive Roy Lipski.

“We are very pleased to be part of this landmark facility and to contribute to British Airways' strategy for sustainable aviation, as well as Solena's worldwide project roll out plans."

A project start date was confirmed for 2015, and Barclays has been appointed as an advisor on funding. A letter of interest has been secured in respect of possible financing.

The partners have an exclusive option over a site for the facility, while pre-front end engineering and design work has begun.

GreenSky will process 500,000 tonnes of London’s waste into 50,000 tonnes of jet fuel, equating to 1,100 barrels of fuel per day (bpd). It will also process 50,000 tonnes, or 1,100 bpd, of ultra-low sulphur diesel.

Bought back in on Friday- £1.30

Wow - it's taken off like a rocket... but I've not held these for a long time. Just goes to show: I need to develop patience!

Same here Toya, sold some of my holdings way to early.Early is better than to late.

Oxford Catalysts raises funds through oversubscribed placing
2:43 pm by John Harrington The funds from the placing will be used to consolidate the group’s market position and to speed up the roll-out of its products.

Synthetic fuels firm Oxford Catalysts Group (LON:OCG) has conditionally placed 24.5mln shares at 125p each.

The £133mln-valued company is set to raise around £30.6mln (gross) from the placing, which was oversubscribed.

The new shares will represent around 21.1% of the enlarged ordinary share capital.

The shares have been on a good run of late, rising more than 50% over the last month, so the call for cash is well-timed.

The placing price is below last night’s mid-market closing price of 148.5p, but is at a 14.5% premium to the average mid-market closing price of Oxford Catalysts over the 30 trading days prior to the announcement.

The funds from the placing will be used to consolidate the group’s market position and to speed up the roll-out of its products.

"This oversubscribed fund raising, achieved under difficult market conditions, is a huge vote of confidence in Oxford Catalysts' technology and potential. We are delighted by the very significant support received from existing shareholders, several new major institutional investors and a new strategic investor,” said Roy Lipski, chief executive officer of Oxford Catalysts.

The group also updated the market on its subsidiary Velocys’s legal battle in the US with Catacel, a supplier of catalysts to Velocys competitor CompactGTL.

Velocys is claiming infringement by Catacel of its micro-channel related patents. CompactGTL responded by requesting a re-examination of eight of the group’s US patents.

Oxford Catalysts said that thus far, seven of the eight US patents have been re-examined, with six being left unchanged; the seventh had one immaterial amendment.

Hi DreamCatcher: to anwer your Q on the OXP thread: no, I haven't bought in here again recently, and not really sure at what level I would do so. I feel I've missed the current surge and need to see what happens - I've been too eager in the past to leap in when a share was rocketing, only to see it slump back!

Calumet Project Update



Oxford Catalysts Group (OCG.L), the modular Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology innovator, is pleased to provide an update on the Calumet Gas-to-Liquids project announced on 7 September 2012.



Ventech Engineers International LLC (Ventech), specialists in modular processing plants with whom the Group has been working on this project, has now completed the plant design and provided a fixed price quote for the modules. Calumet has confirmed that the project economics look "strong".



At the same time, Calumet's appointed third-party owner's engineer finished a thorough review of the Group's technology, as well as Ventech's GTL design and other intended technology components. As a result, Calumet has concluded that the technology "is fantastic".



Calumet now plans to progress with the more detailed engineering and market analysis for a plant of approximately 1,400 bpd. At the conclusion of this study, which is expected to last approximately six months, Calumet will be in a position to decide on proceeding with fabrication.



Roy Lipski, CEO of Oxford Catalysts Group, said:



"This is an exciting development for Oxford Catalysts. The project with Calumet will be the only commercial GTL plant in North America to move in to front end engineering, other than Sasol's project in Louisiana. If it continues on its current schedule, it will be the first GTL plant to be operational in North America, and the only commercial smaller scale GTL anywhere in the world.



"We are pleased that Calumet has confirmed that both the economics and technology look attractive, and to be able to add another company to the growing list of engineering firms that have successfully completed independent reviews of our technology. We are confident of the coming growth of GTL in North America and elsewhere, and of playing a leading role in this emerging market."

Very solid results.

Outlook

2012 was truly a milestone year for Oxford Catalysts, with the Group's offering emerging as the only smaller scale synthetic fuels technology to have been publically announced as selected for commercial projects. As we move into 2013, the drivers for our technology all remain strong: availability of cheap gas, particularly North American shale gas; concerns over gas flaring and energy security; and the desire for cleaner fuels. The Company has started 2013 well financed following a highly successful fundraising; with its technology well-proven and with the right partnerships and supply chain in place, as well as a strong, capable team, Oxford Catalysts is set for significant commercial progress.

Oxford Catalysts plans waste-fed factory

By Peter Marsh

A new manufacturing era, in which small plants produce oil and plastics from waste materials, is about to dawn in the UK, according to Oxford Catalysts, the chemicals technology group.

In announcing the company’s 2012 results, chief executive Roy Lipski said he hoped to finalise at least one contract for the building of a $250m “commercial-sized” plant – capable of making up to 120,000 tonnes of oil or plastics a year from waste streams – in the next nine months.

Oxford Catalysts is among the leaders in a clutch of businesses trying to find a way to convert relatively low-value carbon-containing materials into higher-value diesel, jet fuel or industrial chemicals.

Its technology works by using such substances as rotting vegetables and household waste as source materials, or flare gas from oilfields that would normally be wasted.

These ideas have already excited interest both in the energy industry, and in chemicals manufacturing.

In the second of these areas, Mr Lipski said his company’s technology could assist in parts of the world that are distant from conventional chemical feedstocks.

“It’s possible to envisage ways of using our technology in small distributed plants that, by forming a source of materials for other factories fairly close by, could help to shorten manufacturing supply chains,” said Mr Lipski.

One of the companies evaluating such ideas is Calumet, a US maker of speciality chemicals that is trying out some of Oxford Catalysts’ technology.

Calumet is among a number of possible candidates for announcing the construction of a full-scale production venture by the end of 2013.

Formed in 2006, Oxford Catalysts raised £30m this year in investments to further its technology, and has so far failed to make a profit – with Mr Lipski refusing to disclose when this might happen.

He was speaking after the company announced that its losses, adjusted for depreciated, amortisation and related payments, rose 2 per cent in the year to December 31 2012 to £7.9m, after £7.7m the year before.

However, the company made progress in pushing up revenues 61 per cent to £7.6m in 2012, from £4.7m in the previous 12 months. The loss per share was flat at 11.5p (11.4p).

Oxford Catalysts will soon take on the name of Velocys, a subsidiary business. Between them Oxford Catalysts and Velocys – which has its headquarters in the US and was bought in 2008 – have spent about $300m on developing technical ideas over 15 years.

$8 million Ventech Reactor Order

Oxford Catalysts Group (OCG.L), the technology innovator for smaller scale Gas-to-Liquids (GTL), is pleased to announce that Ventech Engineers International LLC (Ventech) has placed an order with the Group for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reactors worth $8 million.

This order, placed in accordance with the agreements between the parties announced on 19 November 2012, is expected to generate revenues to the Group of $8 million over the period of their fabrication, estimated at 18 months, with a minimum payment of $3.6 million guaranteed in 2013. The reactors will have sufficient capacity for a plant of approximately 1,400 bpd. At the time when they are transferred from Ventech to a plant owner, the Group expects to receive additional license and catalyst revenues.

Ventech, headquartered near Houston, Texas, is a global leader in the design and construction of modular refineries, and an early pioneer of modular GTL plants. Ventech's manufacturing complex specialises in completely assembled and tested modules that are easily transported by truck, rail, and barge. Through its affiliate, Ventech Project Investments LP, it has $200 million available to make equity investments in energy projects, including GTL plants.

In November 2012, Oxford Catalysts and Ventech announced that they had entered into a series of agreements whereby the Group became Ventech's preferred supplier of FT technology in North America, and Ventech was granted non-exclusive assured access to design, sell and deliver GTL plants incorporating the Group's FT product to customers in North America. In collaboration with the Group, Ventech has developed the design for a fully integrated, shop fabricated, modular GTL plant.

Roy Lipski, CEO of Oxford Catalysts Group, said:

"We are delighted to receive this order from Ventech and to further cement our partnership with them. It represents another important milestone in the commercialisation of our technology and will allow us to consolidate the readiness of our supply chain for large volume orders."

Kevin Stanley, CEO of Ventech Engineers International, said:

"We are pleased to be moving our relationship with Oxford Catalysts to the next stage. We continue to see many opportunities for modular GTL and are looking forward to building the first plant of its kind in North America."

no one's mentioned these, so I will. These have stayed blue and about the only one thats just edged into profit for me. Hope it lasts.,.
