Gevo Provides Renewable Natural Gas Production Update
15 Julio 2024 - 11:00AM
Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) announced today that its renewable
natural gas (“RNG”) business recently achieved record production
levels.
“I am pleased that we achieved an annualized
production rate of approximately 402,000 MMBtu in May, exceeding
our previous record of approximately 401,000 MMBtu in March,” said
Staci Bogue-Buchholz, Vice President and General Manager of Gevo’s
RNG facilities. “These results show we have hit our stride from a
production perspective, and I think we have room for further
improvement too. The system is running well.”
On June 21, 2024, our RNG production experienced a
slight disruption due to a severe flooding event that impacted the
Rock Valley, Iowa community. As a result of our
mitigation efforts, we still achieved monthly RNG production of
29,082 MMBtu in June inclusive of planned downtime for maintenance,
and the system has returned to its normal operational state. The
company does not expect this to materially impact the annual
production target of approximately 400,000 MMBtu.
Commenting on the rain and flooding in Rock Valley,
Bogue-Buchholz said: “While Gevo was lucky, many of our neighbors
and surrounding communities were not so fortunate. We are
heartbroken for our community as they deal with this tremendous
impact and are looking for opportunities to support recovery and
resiliency from future flooding.”
Gevo’s RNG is produced by capturing methane biogas
from manure digestors across three dairy farms in northwest Iowa.
The biogas is then delivered by pipeline to a centrally located gas
upgrading unit where it is brought to pipeline-quality RNG and
injected into the local gas pipeline.
RNG is biogenic methane that substitutes for
fossil-based methane, or “natural gas”. The benefit of
RNG from a process like Gevo’s, which is made from renewable carbon
and mitigates fugitive methane emissions during production, is that
the overall mitigation of greenhouse gases is large. The resulting
carbon negative RNG may be purchased and claimed in California and
other low-carbon fuels markets to fuel compressed natural gas heavy
duty vehicles.
Gevo is currently operating under a California Air
Resources Board (“CARB”) temporary pathway, which provides the RNG
produced with a carbon intensity score of -150 gCO2e/MJ. Gevo has
applied for, and expects to receive, a permanent score of -350
gCO2e/MJ, the timing of which is uncertain but is believed to occur
by the end of 2024. It is estimated that receipt of the permanent
score will approximately double the stand-alone non-GAAP cash
EBITDA1 currently generated by Gevo’s RNG business.
About GevoGevo’s mission is to
transform renewable energy and carbon into energy-dense liquid
hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons can be used for drop-in
transportation fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel,
that when burned have potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas
emissions when measured across the full life cycle of the products.
Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw
materials, and is in an advanced state of developing renewable
electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production
processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced
carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to
standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their life cycle).
Gevo’s products perform as well or better than traditional
fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but with
substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to
addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables
certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more
sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing
low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value
of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase
greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that its proven, patented
technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable
feedstocks to produce price-competitive low-carbon products such as
gasoline components, jet fuel and diesel fuel yields the potential
to generate project and corporate returns that justify the
build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.
Gevo believes that the Argonne National Laboratory
GREET model is the best available standard of scientific-based
measurement for life cycle inventory or LCI.
