Gevo Renewable Chemicals and Biofuels Company

Gevo is a renewable chemical and advanced biofuels company, developing biobased alternatives to petroleum-based products using a combination of synthetic biology and chemistry.

Gevo plans to produce isobutanol?, a versatile platform chemical for the liquid fuels and petrochemicals? markets. Isobutanol has broad market applications as a solvent and a gasoline blendstock? that can help refiners meet their renewable fuel and clean air obligations. It can also be further processed using well-known chemical processes into jet fuel and feedstocks for the production of synthetic rubber, plastics and polyesters.

Gevo uses a platform technology based on a proprietary fermentation method that relies on biocatalyst? and separation of isobutanol. The combination of these two proprietary established GIFT?, Gevo’s Integrated Fermentation Technology, which was designed to enable the low cost retrofit of existing ethanol capacity for isobutano production.
