Headquarters and Facilities
Gevo is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. The company operates several key facilities, including the Net-Zero 1 project in Lake Preston, South Dakota, which aims to produce energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy. Another significant facility is the RNG plant in Northwest Iowa, which generates renewable natural gas from dairy cow manure. In Luverne, Minnesota, Gevo has a development facility focused on producing isobutanol and ethanol.
Net-Zero 1 Project
The Net-Zero 1 project is located in Lake Preston, South Dakota, and aims to produce approximately 65 million gallons per year of liquid hydrocarbons. The project will utilize renewable energy sources such as wind power and biogas. It is expected to create approximately 1,500 construction jobs and 460 full-time jobs, making a significant economic impact. The project aligns with Gevo's commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon intensity through their renewable resource-based production processes.
Renewable Natural Gas Plant
Gevo's Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plant in Northwest Iowa generates RNG from dairy cow manure. This facility is part of Gevo's broader strategy to develop renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in their production processes. By leveraging low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates, Gevo aims to produce sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
