Gevo announced a purchase agreement for its low-carbon intensity fuel blendstock with Shell Global Solutions Deutschland GmbH for use in motorsports. Gevo’s renewable blendstock is suitable for premium motorsport fuels.

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 such as agricultural waste, which comply with the EU Renewable Energy Directive Annex IX requirements, Gevo is developing a crucial component for low-carbon fuel solutions.

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.

Gevo currently produces a family of renewable gasoline products, including a 16% isobutanol blended gasoline, and RG-50, a 50% renewable fuel made in part from Gevo’s renewable isooctane. Gevo is working on additional products with the objective of replacing the whole gallon of gasoline with a 100% renewable gasoline in the coming years. Its low-carbon fuels are made from renewable feedstocks such as low-carbon crops and other biomass resources.
