Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) has announced its first-ever sale of carbon abatement credits to a global financial and technology company. The company is selling Puro.earth-certified CORCs (CO2 Removal Certificates) generated from its North Dakota ethanol facility's carbon capture and storage (CCS) operations.

The North Dakota facility features a Class IV well for CCS with an estimated sequestration capacity of up to 1 million metric tonnes of CO2 annually. The CORCs represent permanent carbon removal with 1,000-plus-years permanence certification, aimed at supporting corporate decarbonization efforts and mitigating travel emissions.

Landus has expanded its Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR) initiative, creating new premium opportunities for Iowa farmers in partnership with Verity. The program, which generated $750,000 in additional premiums for 2024 crop participants, allows farmers to enroll their 2025 soybean crop starting August 2025.

The company's sustainability programs have been highly successful, with Landus generating nearly $2 million in additional premiums for the 2024 crop. This includes $420,000 paid through their Carbon Intensity Supply Chain Program and $670,000 through their Carbon Ready Program, which rewards farmers for implementing regenerative practices with average payments of $20.08 per acre.

Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) has successfully completed a $40 million bond refinancing through its subsidiary Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC. The new tax-exempt private activity bonds, purchased by Barclays Capital Inc., were used to partially refinance previously issued bonds worth $68.2 million.

Notably, Gevo RNG received a CARB certification with a carbon intensity score of -339 gCO2e/MJ in March 2025, with expected annual carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 175,000 metric tons.
