Gevo, Inc. Company profile
Gevo (GEVO) is focused on transforming renewable energy and carbon into liquid hydrocarbons.
Liquid hydrocarbons can be used as drop-in transportation fuels, such as gasoline, jet and diesel fuel. Drop-in transportation fuels are biomass, made by biological, thermal and chemical processes. When these fuels are burned, they can produce zero carbon emissions.
Based in Englewood, Colorado, Gevo produces liquid hydrocarbons using low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials, such as inedible corn and other feedstocks.
The company's products include renewable gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, isobutanol, ethanol and animal feed.
In addition to transportation fuels, Gevo is also developing renewable electricity and renewable gas to be used in its production processes. Furthermore, the company's technology enables certain plastics to be made with sustainable materials.
The company runs an isobutanol and ethanol plant in Luverne, Minnesota. It also has a biorefinery in Silsbee, Texas, in collaboration with South Hampton Resources Inc. to create renewable jet fuel, octane and ingredients for plastics like polyester.
Gevo was founded in 2005 under the name of Methanotech. It changed its name to Gevo, Inc in March 2006.
The company went public in 2011. Its shares are traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol GEVO.
