Gevo, Axens ink SAF partnership

In Colorado, Gevo and Axens have formed a new strategic alliance to accelerate development and commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel using the ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) pathway. The parties are also combining their technical resources to accelerate commercialization of Gevo’s patented, next-generation ethanol-to-olefins (ETO) technology for further process and cost improvements. “Today, Axens and Gevo are delivering the most cost-effective, commercially proven SAF technology with Axens Jetanol and Gevo’s process and business system,” said Paul Bloom, Chief Business Officer for Gevo. “By expanding our partnership to accelerate the commercialization of Gevo’s ETO technology, we’re combining our industry expertise to further reduce costs and create SAF that is competitive with fossil fuels while capitalizing on the growing carbon market.” “The immense potential for both our companies to lead the future of air-travel decarbonization is an obvious way forward,” said Quentin Debuisschert, CEO of Axens. “The combination of Gevo market know-how and capacity of project development with Axens best-in-class technology, Jetanol, is expected to allow a fast acceptance and adoption of the ETJ Pathway. The future ETO technology commercialization will keep Axens and Gevo on the cutting edge of the ETJ pathway by offering end-users and project developers the possibility to select the most attractive technology for their situation.”
