What is Gevos commercialization strategy?
Gevos butanol technology was designed expressly to fit into existing ethanol plants with the addition of a proprietary unit to separate the butanol during production. Gevo plans to finance the retrofitting of its partner ethanol sites. The advantage of this strategy is that with a small incremental investment, current ethanol plants can add the flexibility to make either alcohol. The addition of the butanol capacity will enable ethanol producers to access wider markets and expand the opportunities for corn-based ethanol capacity.
