Early Stage Technology and Equipment Companies

Raising Capital and Developing and Implementing Winning Business Strategies

Situation - Early stage companies face a myriad of challenges including technology development, materials sourcing, building out the team, proving out technology, securing needed capital, and establishing early market successes.

Solution - Velerity works closely with management to build and implement winning strategies with a severe focus on understanding and optimizing the value proposition, targeting high value markets, having a pressure tested and robust business plan to attract capital and direct operational success.

Energy and Industrial Companies

Diversification, Investment and Leveraged Growth Strategies

Situation - The global energy transition is creating attractive business growth and diversification opportunities for established energy and industrial companies. The transition is also creating risks to carbon intensive operations, processes and technologies.

Solution - Velerity works closely with senior leadership to identify and characterize potential acquisitions and investments in emerging clean energy and advanced technology areas. Velerity has developed a unique approach and process call “Leverage Growth Strategies” to identify growth opportunities that leverage unique competencies and capabilities to ensure a winning and competitively advantaged strategies.

Energy, Industrial and Process Intensive Companies

Carbon Reduction Plans

Situation - Companies with carbon intensive operations and with corporate carbon reduction targets are faced with the immense challenge of determining where and how to reduce emissions within their operations, considering wide range of configurations, technologies, approaches and scale. Each option and configuration has different technology risks, implications for follow-on initiatives, capital requirements and carbon mitigation return on investment.

Solution - Velerity works closely with project teams to establish evaluation criteria, model energy and chemical processes, identify potential carbon reduction technologies and solutions, and run mass, energy and financial models under a variety of representative scenarios. The objective is to identify the carbon reduction solutions that best meet the established evaluation criteria.

Low Carbon Industrial Gas and Synthetic Fuel Project Developers

Market Assessments, Front End Engineering Design, Feasibility Studies, Off-Takers and Project Implementation Plans

Situation - Markets and regulators are creating incentives and increasing market demand for a range of lower carbon fuels and industrial gases. Significant financial and purchasing commitments are being put in place around the world for producing, transforming, distributing and using a range of products including hydrogen, ammonia, Sustainable Aviation Fuels, and green methanol. Market driven demand for low carbon fuels is being driven by applications including fuel for heavy vehicles, ammonia and methanol for shipping, Sustainable Aviation Fuel for aviation, and green hydrogen for ammonia and fertilizer production. Moving projects from inception to Final Investment Decisions requires a significant level of detailed assessments and analysis.

Solution - Velerity works with project developers to build detailed representative mass, energy and financial models of complex chemical processes. Project developers have a range of choices covering plant locations, scale and product mix aside from technology choices, equipment and vendor selection, partnering and capital sources.

  • Market Assessments - Selecting which products to produce, including hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel, based on value, market scale, pricing, volume, and availability of interested off-takers.

  • Front End Engineering Design - Velerity prepares FEED and Pre-FEED analyses for clients for plants and processes that produce low carbon industrial gases and fuels.

  • Feasibility Studies - Velerity prepares feasibility studies of potential plants and facilities to secure development funding a move projects forward on the development timeframe.

  • Off-Takers - Securing off-takers is a critical step as part of the portfolio of requirements to secure a project’s Final Investment Decision. Velerity works with project developers to identify highest potential off-takers and distribution partners.

  • Project Implementation Plans - The development of complex process intensive plants requiring having a clear eye on the implementation plan, which is a critical part of staging implementation with milestones and sequenced financial disbursements, and having a firm understanding on the critical path activities and potential sources of implementation risk.

Gas and Electric Utility Companies

Product and Service Development, Technology Integration and Carbon Reduction Plans

Situation - Gas and electric utility companies are a myriad of complex and fast changing circumstances across the full range of their regulated businesses, creating significant uncertainty. Regulators are driving carbon reduction initiatives largely through electrification of transportation and thermal energy. Utility planning is increasingly complex, considering the wide range of technologies being deployed throughout their systems, including demand management, energy storage, distributed renewable energy, utility scale renewable energy, battery energy storage, distributed thermal networks, and heat pumps.

Solution - Velerity works closely with utility management to identify and evaluate technology integration strategies, implementation plans and and programmatic implications and designs.

Energy and Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Companies

Market Targeting, Product Development, and Partnering

Situation - Manufacturing companies are facing, in some circumstances, significant risks to their businesses associated with the global energy transformation with shifting customer preferences, regulation and competing technologies. This risk to their businesses is complimented simultaneously with a new set of growth opportunities to potentially pursue.

Solution - Velerity works with product and equipment manufacturers to evaluate their situation and identify alternative markets and applications for their core solutions and technologies.

  • Market Targeting - Velerity works with management to evaluate their circumstance, identify unique product characteristics, and characterize potential markets to pursue. Markets and segments will be characterized with respect to size, growth rates, purchasing preferences, value propositions and pricing considerations.

  • Product Development - Product development priorities will be established based on market targeting and customer preferences.

  • Partnering - Entering new or emerging markets can be significantly enhanced through partnering.
