Gevo

edit

Gevo brings renewable and cost-effective fossil fuel alternatives to consumers worldwide will be absolutely essential to meet increasing energy demands and save their earth from global warming. Gevo focuses on the production of isobutanol.

Advanced biofuels like isobutanol can also address many challenges that first-generation biofuels such as ethanol have faced on their path to market: energy efficiency, transport and the need to modify existing engines. In contrast, isobutanol:

• Has a higher energy content per gallon than many first generation biofuels
• Does not absorb water and can be transported through the existing oil and gas distribution infrastructure.
• Can be used in gas-powered vehicles without modification or blending, which reduces our dependency on fossil fuels.
