Gevo Inc. GEVO recently announced its new partnership with Axens to develop and commercialize sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) by using ethanol-to-jet (“ETJ”) pathway. This alliance brings together Axens’ best-in-class and commercialized Jetanol technology and GEVO’s process and business system. The companies are also combining their technical resources to accelerate the rollout of GEVO’s patented, next-generation ethanol-to-olefins (“ETO”) technology. 

Combined real-world experience, substantially de-risked technologies, plant integrations and pre-engineered systems in the ETJ space will enable delivering the most cost-effective, commercially proven SAF technology. The commercialization through this alliance will reduce costs and create SAF that is competitive with fossil fuels while capitalizing on the growing carbon market. GEVO’s ETO technology produces light olefins from ethanol, which can be converted to transportation fuels utilizing commercially proven oligomerization and hydrogenation technologies.

GEVO has previously been successful in a commercial cooperation setup with Axens. The expanded partnership ensures both companies remain leaders in the ETJ space by collaborating with IFPEN on the final development and commercial deployment of the ETO process for fuel applications that are expected to achieve zero carbon intensity or better. This alliance is also expected to bring success by leading ETO technology deployment in North America.

This move will not just lead the future of air-travel decarbonization but also create large numbers of jobs, spur rural economic development and create clear, market-based incentives for regenerative agriculture through the reduction of production and capital costs.

The GEVO stock has gained 96.6% in the past year compared with the 74.5% growth of the industry.
