#GEVO Gevo’s proprietary integrated fermentation technology platform (GIFT®), which has been designed to produce low-cost renewable isobutanol, consists of two elements:

A proprietary yeast biocatalyst, which converts sugars derived from multiple renewable feedstocks into isobutanol, and
A proprietary separation unit which is designed to bolt onto existing ethanol facilities.

This production technology is similar to ethanol production, except that Gevo replaces the ethanol-producing biocatalyst with its isobutanol-producing biocatalyst and then adds a separation unit.

Pat Gruber demonstrates how easily isobutanol separates from water.
