Renewable chemicals and biofuels company Gevo has acquired an ethanol production plant and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) assets of Red Trail Energy to expand sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
The assets, which also include pore space and operations personnel, were acquired for $210m and have been renamed Net-Zero North. In 2021, Gevo teased the concept of its Net-Zero projects.
