Gevo and Axens join forces for the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuel projects in USA


Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Gevo and Axens have entered into an agreement that establishes a strategic alliance aimed at accelerating the commercialization of sustainable ethanol-to-jet (ETJ) projects in the United States.

As part of the alliance, Axens brings: technologies with over 60 related patents; engineering packages; proprietary catalysts; and certain proprietary equipment required to convert ethanol into jet fuel. Axens would also provide process guarantees for commercial ETJ projects. Gevo expects to develop, own and operate ETJ plants to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), utilizing: its expertise in renewable alcohol production and technologies; Net-Zero business model; project financing expertise; customer relationships and contracts.

Axens has a long history of developing and commercializing technology to convert olefins (such as ethylene, propylene and butylene) into hydrocarbon fuels and blend stocks (such as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel). Instead of making olefins from petroleum, it is now possible to make them from ethanol and butanol, so the same commercially proven technologies can be deployed to make renewable hydrocarbon fuels.
