ADM, Gevo to partner on sustainable aviation fuel
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, US - ADM and Gevo, Inc. will work
together to support the production of sustainable aviation fuel
and other low carbon-footprint hydrocarbon fuels.
As part of the memorandum of understanding, ethanol and
isobutanol would be transformed into renewable low carbonfootprint
hydrocarbons, including SAF, using Gevo's processing
technology and capabilities.
About 900 million gallons of ethanol produced at ADM's
dry mills in Columbus, Nebraska, US; Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
US; and Decatur, Illinois, US, is expected to be processed
with this technology. That would result in production of 500
million gallons of SAF and other renewable hydrocarbons.
The isobutanol would be produced at a proposed new facility
in Decatur that would use ADM's carbon capture and
sequestration capabilities. ADM and Gevo will work together
on full commercialization plans and definitive agreements so
that SAF production can begin in 2025-26.
" The potential conversion of 900 million gallons of ethanol
- more than half of our production capacity - to serve
growing demand for sustainable aviation fuel would represent
a major step in the continued evolution of our Carbohydrate
Solutions business to focus increasingly on new, high-growth
opportunities, " said Juan Luciano, chairman and chief
executive officer of ADM. " Carbohydrate Solutions is unlocking
new value and meeting customer needs through the
growth of our BioSolutions platform, with agreements like
our LG Chem MoU; sustainable solutions supported by our
carbon capture capabilities, like our net-zero carbon milling
footprint in the US; and the completion of our dry mill review,
with the sale of our Peoria facility and this exciting collaboration
with Gevo.
" Equally important, we're continuing to live our purpose,
with our entry into SAF representing another step in our strategic
efforts to advance decarbonization and use our integrated
value chain to deliver more sustainable, environmentally
friendly products and services. "
Gevo, a producer of energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons and
renewable chemicals with net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions,
said its potential contract pipeline has grown to more than 1
billion gallons.
" By working with ADM, who already has committed to
reducing their carbon footprint, we have the opportunity to
accelerate scale, " said Patrick Gruber, CEO of Gevo. " The
technology to convert low carbon ethanol and isobutanol
into SAF by Gevo is well developed and ready for world
scale-commercialization. "
