Gevo expects its carbon business to deliver over $50 million of revenue in 2026, independent of US federal incentives such as the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit. The Colorado company announced the forecast in a business update on October 22, 2026. About $20 million came in the third quarter from selling banked Canadian Clean Fuel Regulation credits. The carbon business is expected to add $30 million annually at current production rates and market conditions. Gevo also sold $70 million of Section 45Z tax credits for 2026. A planned expansion of Gevo North Dakota, expected in 2028, could roughly double revenue from the carbon business and other streams. A final investment decision is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Gevo, Inc. announces first multi-year carbon removal credits supply agreement through CEEZER. Published on 10/14/2026 at 09:50 am EDT S&P Capital IQ Gevo, Inc. announced a three-year agreement with CEEZER for the sale of CDR credits generated at Gevo's North Dakota carbon capture and sequestration project.

The resulting CDRs are designed to provide verifiable, durable carbon removal that can be used by organizations pursuing net-zero and climate commitments. (C) S&P Capital IQ - 2026
Gevo announces first multi-year carbon removal credits supply agreement through CEEZER. Three-Year delivery of durable carbon removals from Gevo North Dakota to a leading global enterprise software company. October 14, 2026 08:13 ET | Source: Gevo, Inc. * Gevo will supply durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits from Gevo North Dakota, one of the world's first commercial Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) ethanol plants, under a long-term agreement * CEEZER will procure and manage the removal portfolio on behalf of a global Fortune 500 enterprise software company ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) today announced a three-year agreement with CEEZER, a leading carbon management platform for enterprise customers, for the sale of CDR credits generated at Gevo's North Dakota carbon capture and sequestration project. This first multi-year agreement for Gevo supports its path toward a carbon business exceeding $30 million in annual revenue from existing operations. The agreement of a five-figure volume of tons of contracted CDRs through 2029 expands Gevo's growing portfolio of contracted carbon removal credit sales. Gevo believes this transaction further validates both the market demand for high-quality, durable carbon removals generated through BECCS as well as a broader move among corporate buyers from one-off purchases towards multi-year offtakes that secure supply, price and quality for high-durability removals. "We expect increased sales to buyers seeking permanent carbon removal solutions backed by the rigorous measurement, reporting and verification standards Gevo provides," said Gevo Chief Carbon Officer Alex Clayton. "Gevo is a high-integrity, high-quality producer who can supply today to meet market needs. It's encouraging to see customers now moving to multi-year agreements and we anticipate more as companies continue to secure long-term access to durable carbon removal solutions." The contracted CDRs will be generated by Gevo North Dakota, which captures biogenic carbon dioxide from ethanol production and permanently stores it through geological sequestration. The resulting CDRs are designed to provide verifiable, durable carbon removal that can be used by organizations pursuing net-zero and climate commitments. "Companies building carbon removal portfolios increasingly need certainty of supply, price and quality over several years, not just individual purchases," said CEEZER Senior Vice President of Sourcing & Delivery Stephan Fuechtenhans. "Seeing Gevo's operation, including on-site storage and supply chain, during our team's recent site visit confirmed the kind of traceability our clients look for. Long-term offtakes with suppliers that combine an operating project with a proven delivery record are becoming central to how companies meet their long-term climate goals." Gevo believes its Gevo North Dakota project is among the first commercial-scale U.S. BECCS projects delivering verified carbon removal credits at scale to the voluntary carbon market and this agreement further demonstrates the commercial opportunity created by Gevo's carbon capture and storage infrastructure. By generating durable carbon removal credits from existing operations, Gevo is building a growing carbon business that complements its low-carbon fuels strategy while creating an additional source of potential recurring revenue. The company believes increasing demand for high-integrity carbon removals and a limited supply of delivered credits position it well for additional long-term customer agreements.
