Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO) and Future Energy Global (FEG) have signed a multi-year offtake agreement for carbon abatement attributes from Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Under the agreement, FEG will acquire Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions credits from 10 million gallons per year of fuel from Gevo's planned ATJ-60 facility.

The agreement is expected to support financing for Gevo's ATJ-60 facility construction, which has secured a $1.63 billion conditional loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Lake Preston, South Dakota facility is designed to produce 60 million gallons of SAF annually at costs comparable to conventional jet fuel but with lower carbon emissions.

The 'Book and Claim' approach separates environmental attributes from physical fuel, reducing transportation costs and enabling a global SAF market. This agreement helps address the aviation industry's goal of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, where SAF is expected to contribute approximately two-thirds of necessary emissions reductions.
