Gevo North Dakota gains “A” rating from BeZero Carbon

In Colorado, Gevo, Inc. says that BeZero Carbon Ltd., a preeminent global carbon rating agency, has upgraded its rating for the Gevo North Dakota (“GND”) facility that has carbon capture and storage to an “A” rating.

Gevo is a pioneer in the voluntary carbon markets focused on the production and delivery of carbon dioxide removal certificates, known as CORCs under the high-integrity Puro.earth standard. The GND facility is the largest producer of technology-based carbon dioxide removal credits and is the only ethanol carbon capture and storage project to issue credits for thousand-year permanence, under Puro.earth’s “Geologically Stored Carbon” methodology.

GND sources most of its corn feedstock from within 75 miles of the facility and will be leveraging Verity, a Gevo-developed carbon-tracking platform for upstream agriculture measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) to document sustainable agriculture practices, create transparency in agricultural value chains, and provide tools for land assessment.
