Gevo starts conversion of Minnesota ethanol plant to isobutanol

June 1, 2011 |

In Minnesota, Gevo has begun the retrofit of its ethanol facility in Luverne, Minnesota, to produce biobased isobutanol, bringing the company one step closer to commercial-scale production. The retrofit, which is expected to be complete by next summer, will make this facility the world’s first commercial-scale biobased isobutanol plant.

Gevo acquired the Luverne, Minnesota plant, which has an isobutanol production capacity of 18 million gallons per year, from Agri-Energy LLC in September 2010. Currently, the plant has 27 employees.
