Gevo looks to expand North Dakota facility for up to 75M gallons per year
Earlier this year, Gevo announced plans for incremental expansion of the GND ethanol facility from 67 MGPY to 75 MGPY over the next year. The integrated system at GND combines ethanol production, CO₂ capture, and permanent sequestration, which enables Gevo to monetize its carbon in voluntary carbon markets and low-carbon fuel markets, generating meaningful revenue by producing energy with reduced lifecycle carbon intensity, including cost-effective alcohol-to-jet pathways to scale production of synthetic aviation fuel.
Combining the latest announcement of potential additional capacity and the previously announced incremental expansion project, the GND site would be expected to produce approximately 150 MGPY of low-carbon ethanol, more than 400,000 metric tons of captured CO₂, and additional animal feed and corn oil. The biogenic, clean CO₂ supports the company’s growing carbon business, including increased low-carbon fuel and the growing voluntary carbon dioxide credit markets. Carbon dioxide is an important coproduct that can be efficiently captured and utilized for industrial applications, including enhanced oil recovery, or permanently sequestered for carbon-removal credits. This opportunity represents a compelling combination of location, resources, and strategic alignment with the company’s long-term growth objectives.
