joined Gevo as Assistant General Counsel. Ms. Walker brings more

marketing veteran in the energy commodity space, including the
natural gas, crude and crude oil products, natural gas liquids,
wholesale propane, power, and renewables sectors. She will bolster

Walker. “I hope to be an essential collaborator in a wide variety

About GevoGevo’s mission is to transform
renewable energy and carbon into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons.
These liquid hydrocarbons can be used for drop-in transportation
fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel, that when burned
have potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas emissions when
measured across the full life cycle of the products. Gevo uses
low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials,
and is in an advanced state of developing renewable electricity and
renewable natural gas for use in production processes, resulting in
low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced carbon intensity (the
level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard petroleum
fossil-based fuels across their life cycle). Gevo also plans to
take advantage of decarbonization via geological sequestration in
the future. Gevo’s products perform as well or better than
traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but
with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to
addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables
certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more
sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing
low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value
of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase
greenhouse gas emissions.
Gevo believes that its proven, patented technology enabling the
use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks to produce
price-competitive low-carbon products such as gasoline components,
jet fuel and diesel fuel yields the potential to generate project
and corporate returns that justify the build- out of a
multi-billion-dollar business.
Gevo believes that the Argonne National Laboratory GREET model
is the best available standard of scientific-based measurement for
life cycle inventory or LCI.
