Production of isobutanol, thereby bringing renewable and cost-effective fossil fuel alternatives to consumers worldwide MoreLess

Gevo is a renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company focused on the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), isobutanol, and renewable gasoline. The company's business model is centered around the development, financing, and operation of production facilities that convert renewable feedstocks, such as corn, into hydrocarbon fuels.

Gevo's process utilizes its proprietary Gevo Integrated Fermentation Technology (GIFT) to produce isobutanol, which is then converted into a variety of renewable hydrocarbon products. The company targets clients in the aviation and transportation industries, offering them a "drop-in" solution that is compatible with existing infrastructure and engines. By focusing on the entire value chain, from feedstock to fuel, Gevo aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a cost-competitive alternative to petroleum-based products.

The company generates revenue through the sale of its renewable fuels and chemicals, as well as through licensing its technology to third parties. Gevo's market is the global energy and transportation sector, with a specific emphasis on the growing demand for sustainable aviation fuel driven by airline commitments to reduce their carbon footprint.
