A RIN is a serial number assigned to biofuels for the purpose of tracking their production, use and trading, as required under the RFS. RINs can be sold and traded, and as a result carry a monetary value, which is linked to the biofuels that generate the RINs.
Gevo’s isobutanol from feed corn starch currently generates D6 RINs, and with this approval, Gevo’s isobutanol could generate D5 RINs as well. D5 RIN credits have historically had greater value in the marketplace than D6 RINs, potentially making Gevo’s isobutanol more valuable in the future. Isobutanol, used as a gasoline blend stock, generates 1.3 RINs per gallon. This compares to ethanol’s 1.0 RINs per gallon, given isobutanol’s higher energy density as a molecule. Currently D5 RINs have a value of approximately $1.00 versus approximately $0.75 for a D6 RIN. Therefore, at these current values, a gallon of isobutanol would generate RIN value of $1.30 per gallon if it qualified for a D5 RIN, as compared to $0.98 per gallon under a D6 RIN, or an additional $0.32 per gallon.
Isobutanol can also be converted into renewable jet fuel and gasoline. Each of these products would also qualify for RINs.
In order for Gevo to achieve the 50% or greater GHG emission reduction measured with the EPA methodology, Gevo would need to substitute part of its fossil based energy sources at its plant in Luverne with renewable energy sources, for example substituting natural gas with biogas in the production process.
“The new EPA pathway combines the lowest cost carbohydrate feedstock sources with green energy, resulting in advanced fuels with a significant GHG reduction. It is worth noting that this pathway leads to the only advanced biofuel that has potential to significantly lower GHG’s while also generating large amounts of protein for animal feed. In fact, practically all of the protein from the feed corn used by Gevo is captured and sold for animal feed. This feed corn, which is not used for human consumption, and which is supplied to Gevo in Luverne is what the local farmers are calling “low carbon corn” because of the advanced farming techniques they use to minimize chemical inputs, the low till/no till fields that are building up soil carbon and the high yields that they achieve which minimizes land use. We are pleased that there is now a route for advanced fuels that provides protein that contributes to the food system. We expect that the approval of this pathway will open up new business opportunities for Gevo, while driving sustainable environmental improvements,” said Dr. Patrick Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer.
About Gevo
Gevo is a leading renewable technology, chemical products, and next generation biofuels company. Gevo has developed proprietary technology that uses a combination of synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering to focus primarily on the production of isobutanol, as well as related products from renewable feedstocks. Gevo’s strategy is to commercialize bio-based alternatives to petroleum-based products to allow for the optimization of fermentation facilities’ assets, with the ultimate goal of maximizing cash flows from the operation of those assets. Gevo produces isobutanol, ethanol and high-value animal feed at its fermentation plant in Luverne, Minnesota. Gevo has also developed technology to produce hydrocarbon products from renewable alcohols. Gevo currently operates a biorefinery in Silsbee, Texas, in collaboration with South Hampton Resources Inc., to produce renewable jet fuel, octane, and ingredients for plastics like polyester. Gevo has a marquee list of partners including The Coca-Cola Company, Toray Industries Inc. and Total SA, among others. Gevo is committed to a sustainable bio-based economy that meets society’s needs for plentiful food and clean air and water.
