- Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO -1.2%) says it has decided to make further upgrades to the regenerative thermal oxidizer at the Luverne, Minn., isobutanol production plant while the facility is down.
- The plant was halted on Dec. 21 to perform unplanned necessary repairs and maintenance on the plant's RTO, a piece of pollution control equipment.
- Gevo says the Luverne plant produced 190K gallons of isobutanol, the highest-ever quarterly production level, and surpassed production cost targets, demonstrating variable costs of production of less than the targeted $3.00-$3.50/gal.
