With deep knowledge of corn biorefining, Gevo has pivoted to blaze a new trail in sustainable aviation fuel. The company's goal of producing net-negative carbon SAF pivots around the promise of low-carbon agriculture and decarbonized production.
With advanced enzyme solutions, ethanol producers are unlocking more value from corn and other feedstocks. These evolved cocktails are designed for greater heat tolerance, higher output—including DCO yield—and, of course, next-generation pursuits.
We're headed into 2023 with a bipartisan wind at our backs. Biofuels are positioned for success, and we're grateful to our supporters in Congress—old and new—who share Growth Energy's vision for a thriving low-carbon economy.
