Gevo sells isobutanol to Gulf Racing Fuels for marine and off-road

October 2, 2014 |

In Colorado, Gevo announced that it is selling renewable isobutanol to Gulf Racing Fuels for their new line of marine and off-road fuels. The new biofuels will meet Gulf Racing Fuels’ requirement for an oxygenated off-road fuel. The renewable isobutanol is being produced at Gevo’s Luverne, Minnesota facility.

Initially, Gulf Racing Fuels will create three new fuels that will target marine uses and all-terrain vehicles (ATV). Each fuel will use a 16.1% isobutanol blend for delivering lower emissions and superior performance characteristics. These fuel blends are designed to meet EPA emission requirements for marine and off road engines without suffering from water solubility issues. The overall market opportunity in the U.S, for marine and off-road fuels is estimated to be over 1.7 billion gallons per year as per the EIA Annual Energy Outlook.
