(NASDAQ: GEVO)\ntoday announced a three-year agreement with CEEZER, a leading carbon\nmanagement platform for enterprise customers, for the sale of CDR credits\ngenerated at Gevo's North Dakota carbon capture and sequestration project.\nThis first multi-year agreement for Gevo supports its path toward a carbon\nbusiness exceeding $30 million in annual revenue from existing operations.\n\nThe agreement of a five-figure volume of tons of contracted CDRs through 2029\nexpands Gevo's growing portfolio of contracted carbon removal credit sales.\nGevo believes this transaction further validates both the market demand for\nhigh-quality, durable carbon removals generated through BECCS as well as a\nbroader move among corporate buyers from one-off purchases towards multi-year\nofftakes that secure supply, price and quality for high-durability removals.\n\n“We expect increased sales to buyers seeking permanent carbon removal\nsolutions backed by the rigorous measurement, reporting and verification\nstandards Gevo provides,” said Gevo Chief Carbon Officer Alex Clayton.\n“Gevo is a high-integrity, high-quality producer who can supply today to\nmeet market needs. It’s encouraging to see customers now moving to\nmulti-year agreements and we anticipate more as companies continue to secure\nlong-term access to durable carbon removal solutions.”\n\nThe contracted CDRs will be generated by Gevo North Dakota, which captures\nbiogenic carbon dioxide from ethanol production and permanently stores it\nthrough geological sequestration. The resulting CDRs are designed to provide\nverifiable, durable carbon removal that can be used by organizations pursuing\nnet-zero and climate commitments.\n\n“Companies building carbon removal portfolios increasingly need certainty of\nsupply, price and quality over several years, not just individual\npurchases,” said CEEZER Senior Vice President of Sourcing & Delivery Stephan\nFuechtenhans. “Seeing Gevo’s operation, including on-site storage and\nsupply chain, during our team’s recent site visit confirmed the kind of\ntraceability our clients look for. Long-term offtakes with suppliers that\ncombine an operating project with a proven delivery record are becoming\ncentral to how companies meet their long-term climate goals.”\n\nGevo believes its Gevo North Dakota project is among the first\ncommercial-scale U.S. BECCS projects delivering verified carbon removal\ncredits at scale to the voluntary carbon market and this agreement further\ndemonstrates the commercial opportunity created by Gevo's carbon capture and\nstorage infrastructure. By generating durable carbon removal credits from\nexisting operations, Gevo is building a growing carbon business that\ncomplements its low-carbon fuels strategy while creating an additional source\nof potential recurring revenue. The company believes increasing demand for\nhigh-integrity carbon removals and a limited supply of delivered credits\nposition it well for additional long-term customer agreements.\n\nAbout Gevo North Dakota’s Carbon Project \n\nAt Gevo North Dakota, carbon dioxide (CO(2)) from fermentation is stored more\nthan a mile beneath the plant, with permanence exceeding 1,000 years and no\npipeline needed. Each stored ton can generate a CDR credit, which companies\nbuy to offset emissions. According to CDR.fyi, across the CDR market, only\nabout 3% of roughly 50 million contracted tons has been delivered. Gevo is\namong those delivering CDR credits, serving customers such as Nasdaq and\nWhirlpool.
