Gevo’s product lines focus on utilizing carbon captured from photosynthesis, and highly efficient production processes, to deliver cost-effective drop-in hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. These fuels and chemicals also deliver real carbon abatement to address a growing value-added market.
We use the starch from our regeneratively grown feedstock of corn grown on American farms to produce ethanol, which is then converted to drop-in fuels, as well as chemicals and other products. During the processing of the corn and ethanol production, we capture large amounts of protein and animal feed for the food chain.
Our efficient processes deliver drop-in hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals, but with their carbon abated. This is achieved by our choice of regeneratively grown corn for a carbon source, combined with efficient processing and renewable energy in production. We can achieve net-zero carbon released across the whole lifecycle, even as we make products with a production cost competitive with those of other carbon sources, and that perform as well anything else on the market.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
If the global airline industry is going to achieve its stated goal to freeze emissions and achieve carbon-neutral growth by 2050, it must use low-carbon sustainable aviation fuel.
Renewable Gasoline
Based on a mix of isooctane, isobutanol, and ethanol, depending on the market, this renewable fuel could augment sources of petro-based fuels and blends.
Protein and High-Value Nutrition Products
Anyone who knows anything about nutrition in the world and the dangers of malnutrition pays attention to protein. The protein that comes from our feedstocks stays in the food chain.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)
Gevo generates renewable natural gas, or RNG, by collecting manure from dairy farms. It’s addition by subtraction: We reduce a source of ag waste and capture methane, which becomes a crucial source of energy. Because of the method of production in this case, this methane is called renewable natural gas.
Isobutanol
Isobutanol, sometimes called biobutanol, is a building block for many of Gevo’s fuel and chemical products, and its creation has been a key breakthrough for many energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons.
Ethanol
The market for ethanol is the largest biofuel market in the world, and we can make it in our facilities in America’s Heartland.
Isobutylene
Gevo’s isobutylene is the starting point for many chemicals and offers a different pathway with a low carbon intensity that will appeal to a huge portion of the market.
Isooctane
Created by combining two four-carbon isobutanol molecules, isooctane can be a high-performance fuel additive or a building block for renewable fuels that combine performance and sustainability.
Renewable Diesel
As a byproduct of our ethanol-to-jet production process, Gevo’s renewable diesel has the potential to reinvent the transportation industry, and also has the potential to improve peoples’ health with reduced pollution.
