About Gevo

Gevo is a renewable fuels and chemicals company headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. It says it delivers low-carbon fuels and chemicals using carbon dioxide as its renewable carbon source. Its products include sustainable aviation fuel, low-carbon ethanol, renewable natural gas, renewable gasoline and specialty chemicals.

Gevo makes its SAF from the starch in regeneratively grown field corn grown on American farms. The starch is fermented to ethanol, which is then converted to drop-in fuel through alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology. The company says its fuels perform as well as or better than fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines.

The company's product range also includes isobutanol, isobutylene, isooctane, protein and high-value nutrition products, and carbon dioxide removal. Protein from its feedstocks stays in the food chain as high-protein animal feed.

Gevo's sites include its Englewood headquarters, a renewable natural gas plant in northwest Iowa, Gevo North Dakota in Richardton, and a development facility in Luverne, Minnesota. The company has also broken ground on a large-scale ATJ hydrocarbon facility in Lake Preston, South Dakota.

The company's history includes a series of firsts. Gevo says it flew the first ATJ SAF flight with the US Navy in 2014, and the first ATJ made from wood waste in an Alaska Airlines flight in 2015. It also cites an ATJ off-take agreement with AvFuel in 2018 and a long-term take-or-pay agreement with Delta Airlines in 2019.

Gevo runs an agriculture programme covering regenerative farming and soil carbon. It says its farming methods help farmers capture CO2 in the soil and improve soil quality. The company has separate contact routes for general, press and investor enquiries.

Gevo says it has certifications for its products, including ISCC+ for ATJ in 2019 and Roundtable for Sustainable Biomaterials certification for corn used in ATJ in 2020.
