Gevo, Mustang ink renewable jet fuel development deal

In Colorado, Gevo announced it has signed an engineering and consulting agreement with Mustang Engineering to convert Gevo’s renewable isobutanol to bio-jet fuel. This effort will focus on the downstream processing of isobutanol to paraffinic kerosene (jet fuel) for jet engine testing, airline suitability flights and advancing commercial deployment. Gevo also announced that its “fit for purpose” testing at the Air Force Research Laboratory continues with a final report expected in June.

Once completed successfully, the company will initiate jet engine testing with engine manufacturers. Mustang is a global project management, engineering, procurement, and construction operations company serving the upstream oil and gas, refining and chemicals, pipeline, automation and control, and industrial markets.
