Gevo has announced a breakthrough to its fermentation technology that will allow it to produce isobutanol from cellulosic feedstocks such as wood waste which can then be converted into Gevo's alcohol-to-jet fuel. The patented Gevo Integrated Fermentation Technology (GIFT) has now been adapted to convert the cellulosic sugars from wood intro renewable isobutanol. Gevo then uses its patented hydrocarbon technology to convert the cellulosic isobutanol into alcohol-to-jet-synthetic paraffinic kerosene (ATJ-SPK) fuel. Gevo currently makes isobutanol from corn at its plant in Luverne, Minnesota, but its process has always had the flexibility to adapt to other feedstocks.
