Another Momentous Milestone Achieved: Gevo Has Purchased the Land for the New Net-Zero 1 Facility

Gevo has closed on the purchase of approximately 245 acres near Lake Preston, South Dakota, for its first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) facility, Net-Zero 1. We initially optioned the site for purchase in December of 2020, and we chose this site because it is very favorable for producing low-carbon SAF. Gevo completed more than...

Gevo Leverages Nature’s Carbon Sequestration System to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Farmers are already beginning to implement growing techniques on a large scale to capture vast quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide and put it in the ground via root systems. The...

Drop-In Fuels Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Immediately

Greenhouse gas emissions have been rising steadily since the dawn of the industrial age, with atmospheric carbon dioxide reaching just over 417 parts per million (ppm) in May 2020. Smog and ozone are caused when nitrogen oxides react with sunlight, and these and other types of pollution are caused by fossil fuels that can damage...
