Gevo and LG Chem expand development agreement to include ethanol-to-olefins tech

In Colorado, Gevo, Inc. and LG Chem are extending their joint development agreement enabling LG Chem to assess existing assets for deploying Gevo’s Ethanol-to-Olefins technology while accelerating commercialization activities, considering project scale and end-product markets.

Gevo’s patented ETO technology can target carbon-neutral or carbon-negative drop-in replacements for traditional petroleum-based building blocks. These are core olefins, that can be used for renewable fuels and chemicals, including sustainable aviation fuel and bio-propylene. ETO technology is just one of multiple patented technologies that Gevo is bringing to bear on the challenges of developing cost-effective bio-based renewable fuels and chemicals.
