Gevo to Supply Renewable Hydrocarbon-Based Low-Carbon Intensity Racing Fuel Blendstock to Shell

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) announced a purchase agreement for its low-carbon intensity fuel blendstock with Shell Global Solutions Deutschland GmbH (“Shell”) for use in motorsports. Gevo’s renewable blendstock is suitable for premium motorsport fuels, demonstrating that sustainability and peak performance belong together.

Beginning with performance, Gevo’s low-carbon intensity fuel blendstock is expected to meet the robust demands of grueling racing schedules while providing enhanced net-energy storage and lower carbon emissions.

Gevo is committed to carbon abatement. By producing high-performance racing fuel blendstock from sustainable feedstocks like agricultural waste, which comply with the EU Renewable Energy Directive Annex IX requirements, Gevo is developing a crucial component for low-carbon fuel solutions.

“This is an important step towards a sustainable future,” says Damien Perriman, Gevo’s Chief Business Development Officer. “The racing industry exhilarates and inspires, and its enormous audience has an appreciation of what technology can do to enhance the human experience. Leading companies across the globe are looking to Gevo to deliver net-zero fuels and chemicals. With products like renewable fuels for all modes of transportation, specialty additives for lubricants, and sustainable chemicals that replace outdated technologies, Gevo is thrilled to drive this transformation.”

Matthias Mundt, General Manager Fuels Technology Future Mobility Portfolio at Shell, says: “As a supplier of specialty fuels to racing series around the world, Shell is focused on improving sustainability while maximizing efficiency and performance, such as with the 100% renewable race fuel we developed for the NTT INDYCAR series. We are pleased to collaborate with Gevo to explore the possibilities provided by their low-carbon intensity products.”
