Welcome to our dedicated page for Gevo news (Ticker: GEVO), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Gevo stock.
Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) is a pioneering company in the renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels industry. Gevo is focused on developing biobased alternatives to petroleum-based products through a blend of synthetic biology and chemistry. The company's core product is isobutanol, a versatile platform chemical used in the liquid fuels and petrochemical markets.
One of Gevo's key innovations is its ability to produce isobutanol from renewable resources. This bio-based isobutanol can be used as a solvent, a gasoline blendstock, and can be converted into jet fuel, feedstocks for synthetic rubber, plastics, and polyesters. Gevo's proprietary technology is designed to retrofit existing ethanol plants, making the transition to bio-based production smoother and more cost-effective.
Gevo operates through several segments: the Gevo segment, focused on research and development; the Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Segment; the Net-Zero Segment, and the Agri-Energy Segment. These segments are involved in various activities including the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the commercialization of renewable hydrocarbon products, and the development of biocatalysts.
Recent corporate highlights include the completion of Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for the Net-Zero 1 (NZ1) plant and progress on detailed engineering and term sheet negotiations for a U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee. Gevo has also expanded its Iowa dairy manure RNG project, capturing methane emissions from dairy farms to produce RNG. This project now boasts a production capacity of 400,000 MMBtu per year.
In addition to its renewable fuel initiatives, Gevo has developed Verity Carbon Solutions, a carbon tracking application for farmers. This tool helps farmers visualize data related to corn production, enabling better decision-making to improve production and reduce carbon footprints.
Gevo’s Ethanol-to-Olefins (ETO) technology has also seen advancements, with its first licensing payment from LG Chem. This technology converts ethanol into olefins, essential for making chemicals, plastics, and fuels.
Financially, Gevo has shown resilience and growth. For Q3 2023, it reported a significant increase in operating revenue, primarily driven by sales from its RNG project. The company continues to manage its project development costs effectively while engaging in strategic partnerships and innovations to remain at the forefront of the renewable energy sector.

Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) and Axens have announced a new strategic alliance to accelerate the development and commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using the ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) pathway. The partnership will leverage Axens' Jetanol™ technology and combine both companies' technical resources to commercialize Gevo's patented ethanol-to-olefins (ETO) technology.
The collaboration aims to reduce production costs and create SAF that can compete with fossil fuels while benefiting from the growing carbon market. Gevo will lead the deployment of its ETO technology in North America, focusing on rural economic development, while Axens will provide global process licensing, catalyst, equipment, and engineering services.
The alliance builds on previous successful commercial cooperation, with both companies partnering with IFPEN to develop and deploy Gevo's next-generation ETO process, which is expected to achieve zero carbon intensity or better for fuel applications.
Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) has announced a virtual investor presentation and Q&A session scheduled for February 6, 2025, at 10:00am ET. The event will feature CEO Dr. Patrick Gruber and Vice President of Corporate Development Eric Frey, who will discuss the company's recent acquisition of Net-Zero North's low-carbon ethanol and carbon capture assets.
The presentation aims to provide detailed information about the closing of this strategic acquisition. Interested investors and stakeholders can access registration details and additional information through Renmark Financial's events platform.
Gevo Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) has acquired Red Trail Energy's assets for $210 million, including an ethanol production plant and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facilities in Richardton, North Dakota. The acquired assets, renamed 'Net-Zero North,' are expected to contribute $30-60 million in annual Adjusted EBITDA.
The acquisition was funded through Gevo equity capital and a $105 million senior secured term loan from Orion Infrastructure Capital (OIC). OIC has expressed interest in providing up to an additional $100 million in debt for future growth projects and is investing $5 million in equity at Net-Zero North.
The facility is notable for its low carbon intensity score, projected in the low 20s using the GREET model proposed in Section 45Z. The site offers potential expansion opportunities for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and includes experienced operational personnel from the previous ownership.
Verity Holdings, a subsidiary of Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO), has partnered with Landus to track and verify sustainable agriculture attributes at Landus' soybean facility in Ralston, Iowa. The agreement aims to create value for farmers through sustainability premiums in export markets.
The collaboration utilizes Verity's platform to document and assign value metrics for soybeans, focusing on sustainably certified products from regeneratively grown soybeans and corn. The partnership will streamline certification and data-verification processes to deliver premiums to qualifying farmers while encouraging processors to adopt efficiency-enhancing systems.
The companies plan to expand data-verification efforts to additional Landus facilities and pilot innovative market solutions, maintaining transparency with farmer-owners and stakeholders through regular progress updates.
Verity Holdings, a subsidiary of Gevo Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), has announced a new partnership with Midwest Renewable Energy (MRE), a Nebraska-based ethanol producer. MRE will utilize Verity's end-to-end carbon accounting platform to track sustainability metrics and enhance profitability. The platform will assist MRE in data collection, management, and lifecycle analysis calculations for participation in low carbon fuel production programs.
MRE, which produces ethanol for fuel, industrial, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage applications, aims to expand monetization opportunities through tax credits, compliance, and voluntary markets. The partnership will enable MRE to access carbon value opportunities beyond regulatory programs through Verity's network of clients.
Gevo and LG Chem have extended their joint development agreement to accelerate the commercialization of Gevo's Ethanol-to-Olefins (ETO) technology. The extension allows LG Chem to evaluate existing assets for implementing the ETO technology, which can produce carbon-neutral or carbon-negative alternatives to petroleum-based building blocks. The partnership focuses on developing bio-propylene, which can be used as a renewable raw material for various plastic products, from auto parts to flooring and diapers. Dr. Paul Bloom, Gevo's Chief Carbon and Innovation Officer, highlighted that commercial activities are progressing ahead of the original timeline.
Gevo Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) announced that Red Trail Energy's equity holders have approved the acquisition of their ethanol production plant and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) assets in Richardton, North Dakota.
