Gevo produces paraxylene from sustainable materials
August 27, 2013 (United States Of America)
Gevo, Inc., the world's only commercial producer of bio-isobutanol, held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its demonstration-scale paraxylene plant in Silsbee, Texas.
The paraxylene facility is located adjacent to Gevo's existing jet fuel plant in Silsbee, and establishes the site as a biorefinery that will serve the renewable chemicals and true drop-in biofuels markets.
Congressman Steve Stockman (Rep TX-36 R),
Mike Schultheis, Principal Engineer Sustainable Packaging Global R&D of The Coca-Cola Company, (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Mike+Schultheis,&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#q=Mike+Schultheis+Coke&rls=en&safe=off)
James C. Greenwood, CEO of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=James+C.+Greenwood+BIO&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)
and Simon Upfill-Brown, President of South Hampton Resources

were on hand to deliver remarks and participate in the grand opening.
Gevo is working with The Coca-Cola Company to deliver a new production technology for renewable paraxylene, a key building block for producing fully renewable PET for beverage bottles. Research and Development support for this plant was provided by The Coca-Cola Company under a Joint Development Agreement.
Gevo is working with Toray Industries, Inc. to develop renewable paraxylene, a building block for fully renewable polyester for packaging films and fibers used in textiles, clothing and other applications. Funding assistance for the construction of the paraxylene plant was provided by Toray Industries, Inc., one of the world's leading producers of fibers, plastics, films, and chemicals.

Gevo and Toray have successfully produced fully renewable and recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers and films from isobutanol at laboratory scale in 2011. Toray has also signed an offtake agreement for paraxylene produced at the Silsbee facility. Toray will purchase paraxylene from Gevo and will convert it into PET fibers, textiles and films for scale-up evaluation and market development purposes.
"We believe we have an elegant, viable route to fully-renewable, non-petroleum derived PET and we are pleased that The Coca-Cola Company and Toray have supported this work," said Patrick Gruber, Gevo's chief executive officer. "Fully renewable PET has the potential to make the world a better place by reducing our dependence on oil and the environmental consequences associated with petroleum based raw materials."
"While the technology to make bio-based materials in a lab has been available for many years, we believe Gevo possesses technologies that have high potential to create it on a global commercial level within the next few years," added Scott Vitters, General Manager, PlantBottleTM Packaging Innovation Platform at The Coca-Cola Company. "The opening of this facility is an important milestone toward our vision of creating all of our PET plastic packaging from responsibly-sourced plant materials."
The majority of the world's PET production is for synthetic fibers (in excess of 60 percent), with bottle production accounting for around 30 percent of global demand. Gevo's paraxylene, once converted to bio-based PET, has high potential for any commercial application currently served by petroleum-derived PET.
According to Yukichi Deguchi, Senior Vice President, Member of the Board, and General Manager of the R&D division at Toray, Toray's management policy states that all business strategies must place priority on the global environment in an effort to help realize a sustainable society.
Under this policy, Toray is expanding its biomass-derived materials business centered on research and development of biomass-derived polymers. "PET is one of the major polymer products for Toray and the completion of this demonstration-scale facility by Gevo is a significant step to evaluate business potential for the fully renewable PET," Deguchi said.
I'll bet a Working Group is already all over it, hence the added line in next 10Q "Shares for Consulting Services ... XXX,XXX"
Bullshit, the production numbers presented vastly exceed Crayola's OWN, not to mention that Fox claims "Crayola has found a way to turn dried up markers into clean fuel" end quote. Bravo Crayola, well done.
I get dibs on the moniker "CRAYp2oil"
At the risk of kicking off a couple days wild speculation, of course that could be a material info slip for a looming buyout?
Anyway the Comments section has some extremely well founded viewpoints;
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/03/work-art-crayola-turning-markers-into-fuel/#comments
its seems clearly Waterford to me. Since part of the problem here is relying on minute:forty inserted-PR airtime filling blurbs to herd in a new flock of suckers, and a Polish firing squad of echoed congratulatory opinions, I wont expound, in hopes you do your own DD
what's the "news" here anyway? 500 odd pounds of markers were pyro'd ?
I do look forward to seeing how many "consultant" share payments show up ill defined in the next Q filing. Don't you mean what great "PR"?
This is actually really great "news" for shareholders. Now sell it
My numbers come from Crayolalala...
I'd say that shows the degree of diligence put into the story.
Its almost as amusing that 17,000 markers is just a
hop skip and splat from 700 000 000.
Sell the News. Prepared to get clichéd
Crayola produces yearly
(17,000 markers)(~0.5 oz/marker)(1 lb/16 oz) = 531# ...
I seen at least 600 pounds of posts on the subject already.
Sheeeeeess
I foresee Children's sunny faces downcast on the dock,
Arraigned for throwing twinkie wrappers & dixie cups in the marker box.
That will look great on Fox ! or is that more of a MSNBC story?
Is a pencil eraser a felony or a simple misdehavior ?
What are those multiple sensors?
I have not read about them in the Book of Nawtec.
These promise to detect & reject plastics with flame retardants?
I thought the MagiCatalyst was designed to do that ?
Sounds like yet another patent in the works.
Sorting facilites would love to have those.
Operational ones , I mean.
Who would have thought that Gulag Niagara was so masterminded.
Kongfuzi say; Sell The News.
its a perfectly logical question. To presume that was "a threat" is ludicrous. The goal of hundreds of sites contributing unsorted material will without a doubt include some unwanted additions. A classic problem of recycle efforts everywhere, from unknowing to uncaring contributors. Its why many fail and most are sort-intensive.
What is remarkable to me - how quickly an über aggressive defensive / assume the worst posture is taken to any point raised outside the canon. You wonder aloud how this massive (deal with that in a moment) colorcycle plan will work without a hiccup, and sabotage is basically accused. Its a whole new boogieman philosophy !
However, we are assured by the nawtec paper that somehow , magically, the MagiCatalyst will keep halides for instance, out of the fuel, necessarily out of the stack emissions, and yet presumably out of the catalyst. Thats the magic, I guess.
Finally I think I heard thousands of times how colorcycle is the Cure for this co's ills .. and it turns out a paltry 17,000 markers have been cycled. ... or 0.024% of the target. Talk about infinity and beyond !
towns/cities increasingly provide recycling containers and yet yet yet sadly only some 5~8% of plastics ever make the bin.
And the few markers per househould should join in that logical destination,
Yet yet yet crayola intends close the loop and to parcel ship 10% of their particular contribution to one site.
now where is that "bullshit" key on this shiny new PC ?
Just wait until crayola finds out they are footing shipping of evil bic pens and food wrappers.
First Post-FDAAA “New Active Ingredient” Election and Grant of NCE Exclusivity Made With the Approval of FETZIMA

you gotta admit, perhaps the correct emphasis was
"NOT leaving a fortune 500 .... TO fail "
This is JBspeak we deal with daily ...
the Jabberwocky was more lucid than most pronouncements galumphing out of that place
skin in the game ? perhaps.
Risk capitol? No, he has first lien on everything.
Risk for us retail outside the 'pre informed' loop
butbutbut ...
I saw 1cool million. Where is 2 & 3 ?
that absurd Scientifiywonkle paper that boasts ONE reference ... to an extruder ?!?!
That provides scads of laughs with bloated and inaccurate techiwonkle terms to bedazzle the severely sleep- or technically- deprived ?
That manages to spend a paragraph or two touting their $50 PLC controller but somehow entirely skips over the only hope this process ever boasted, a novel catalyst to beat all the other thousands of p2o / o2o schemes?
and simply leaves that swirling the bowl as a magic halide removal scheme that ~somehow~ doesnt contaminate the fuel, emissions, the petcoke OR the catalyst ?
got a LINK ? Love to peruse that wall of p20 patents. None useful last I saw.
Now about that MagiCatalyst that eats halides and poops air fresheners ...
wanna talk about that awhile ?
Correct NewMon,
BearRaids? SecretSignals!? MarketMakersManipulating!?!?! Face it folks the reason this dog trades the rough equivalent of a used car daily is NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT. This board gets 10X more action than the trading desks ! The reason it collapsed back under 40 to near historical lows is NOBODY FALLS FOR THE 'STORY' ANYMORE. Another Mil deposit made to take control of the Co today ? I must have missed the excitement cos there were 20 trades or so and they wer tiny boring and DOWN, The only reason trading 'looked' good today was by reason it was not as bad as yesterday! where some major dumps were taken late.
AT LONGLAST!!! Volume worthy the name. Down 8%. 10K shares stare at each other across a 0.005 cent divide, and nobody dares draw.
A "Usual Suspects" moment if ever there were
truebutbutbut Rome had heydays before imploding from scallawags invited by the tinkerfiddlin ruling class. JBII's ship has already departed empty and taking on water.
I've never heard that jbi is a cardboard façade (why, do you know something? I mean, MAYBE it qualifies as a 3 card monty game ...), just that the compact tiny footprint low cost simple high yield reactor running 1000% CFP due to a miraculous un-patentable long lost philosophers stone catalyst chewing up mountains of free feedstock ...
has metastasized
into this blatantly shilled three headed behemoth limping away on costly ill defined "optimized" raw materials.
And Mr Market heartily agrees with my humble assessment
Correct as usual Arvitar, wonderful summary of the road JBI has paved.
Let us not neglect the 'free feedstock' promise that actually turned out to a reported an 'optimal' 80% volume dependent cost and plus patriotic children chipping in with their broken crayons. On the other hand, we are reminded 1000 times there -just-may-could be a mañana bañana under all that JBI=moonshot! hubris.
Fine work, sir.

Correct! Tho I sense a blackflag-operation underway here.
Read the agreements ( and unreleased supplemental agreements ?)
If there ever was significant off-spec stockpiles, we can assume they were rapidly depleted. So now we kick back and wait for kiddies to leave caps off markers then remember to bring them in then individually ship them cross country, to the wet weight equivalent of national food drives ? I wouldn't recommend holding breath until I was Cerulean Blue for that plan to muddle together . Color recycle is a crazy PR impractical pipe dream. JBI best look a little closer to home for "optimum feedstock" and it better be magnitudes cheaper than everything located to date, and that was BEFORE sources figured "if someone wants it, it must have value"
Interesting point made made elsewhere
what about the well-founded suits&settlements&sanctions ?
You would think 'lessons learned' but ...
alldem wee kids collecting alldos wee markers are a force to be reckoned with ... wait a minute 3500 TONS ?!?!? Crap, Game OVER
absolutely fascinating. So company newsleaks from unmentionable/unnamed sources, while investors have are left to decode and weigh often faulty PRs. Fascinating !
GOOD JOB MR.HEDDLE! Fire dJ (defendant, John) and his crew, and propel this public company on a profitable positive path !
