Net-Zero 1

Gevo’s Net-Zero 1 project is designed to convert corn-based isobutanol/ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using its proprietary alcohol-to-jet (ATJ-SPK) pathway, with full integration of carbon capture & sequestration (CCS). The facility aims for ~60 million gallons per year (or equivalent in fuels) and will operate under net-zero carbon protocols by capturing process CO₂ and co-locating sequestration. Gevo is advancing necessary permitting and financing. In July 2026, Gevo plans winding down of all activities related to SAF production in Lake Preston, South Dakota to focus completely on Project Northstar (also known as ATJ-30) at Gevo North Dakota.
