Is butanol a threat to the ethanol industry?
No, Gevos technology will add value to the existing ethanol industry by providing additional product options. Traditional ethanol plants retrofitted with Gevo technology will have the flexibility to produce ethanol or isobutanol. Gevos technology provides a rapid and low capital route to the production of a second generation biofuel with the added benefit of being applicable to both the fuel and the chemicals industry. Gevo strongly supports the ethanol industry and believes that there is room for both products in the fuel mix of the USA.
