Gevo’s Bio-Based Isobutanol Production Process Explained: As the ethanol industry evolves, more production plants are seeking ways to add additional products to their production capability and ways to increase margin at their site. One of those options is production of isobutanol and its derivatives including octane, jet fuel blendstock, and other drop-in hydrocarbons. Commercial production of biobased isobutanol, alongside ethanol, has been in operation since 2014 at Gevo’s Luverne, MN, facility in a ‘side-by-side’ operation where various streams in the plant are shared between the operations to minimize capital and operating cost.
