EPA clears Gevo biobutanol for fuel market

November 14, 2010 |

In Colorado, Gevo announced today that it received notification that its isobutanol had successfully cleared registration with the U.S. EPA as a fuel additive. The company said that its isobutanol is the first isobutanol to be listed in the EPA’s Fuel Registration Directory and is now approved for blending with gasoline.

Gevo’s isobutanol can be used directly as a specialty chemical, as a gasoline and jet fuel blendstock, and through conversion into plastics, fibers, rubber and other polymers. Gevo will soon begin the retrofit of its first 22 million gallons per year (MPGY) ethanol facility in Luverne, MN to produce 18 MGPY of isobutanol.
