Gevo
Company Snapshot
Company Overview
Gevo is developing bio-based alternatives to petroleum-based products using a combination of synthetic biology and chemistry. The company produces isobutanol, a versatile platform chemical for the liquid fuel and petrochemical markets. Gevo’s isobutanol, which has successfully cleared registration with the U.S. EPA as a fuel additive, is the first isobutanol to be listed in the EPA’s Fuel Registration Directory and is now approved for blending with gasoline.
Gevo’s technology is based on a proprietary fermentation method that relies on an innovative biocatalyst and the efficient separation of isobutanol. Gevo’s Integrated Fermentation Technology (GIFT), the combination of these two proprietary innovations, is designed to enable the low-cost retrofit of existing ethanol capacity for isobutanol production. This provides Gevo with a faster potential route to market.
