Gevo, Inc. — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Renewable Fuels & Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Strategic Profile

Gevo owns and operates an ethanol plant with carbon capture/sequestration capabilities, one of the largest dairy-based renewable natural gas facilities in the U.S., the world's first specialty alcohol-to-jet fuels facility (operating since 2012), and is developing the world's first large-scale ATJ facility in North Dakota. The company aims for a final investment decision on its ATJ30 project by late 2026 and plans to replicate its ATJ plant model across the U.S., with potential for up to 70 plants.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Gevo maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 8.25 and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet. The company is targeting $40 million in annualized EBITDA with potential growth to $110 million through carbon sequestration. Execution risks remain around scaling production facilities and achieving stated financial targets.
