Nature of Business, Financial Condition and Basis of Presentation
Nature of business.
Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO) ("Gevo" or the "Company," which, unless otherwise indicated, refers to Gevo, Inc. and its subsidiaries), a Delaware corporation founded in 2005, is a growth-oriented company with the mission of solving greenhouse gas emissions for those sectors of the transportation industry that are not amenable to electrification or hydrogen.
The Company is focused on transforming renewable energy into energy-dense liquid drop-in hydrocarbons that can be used as renewable fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF") and other fuels and chemicals, with the potential to achieve a “net-zero” greenhouse gas ("GHG") footprint. The Company uses the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) model (the "GREET Model") to measure, predict and verify GHG emissions across the life-cycle of its products. The “net-zero” concept means Gevo expects that by using sustainably grown feedstock (i.e., low till, no-till and dry corn cultivation), renewable and substantially decarbonized energy sources, drop-in hydrocarbon fuels can be produced that have a net-zero, full life cycle footprint measured from the capture of renewable carbon through the burning of the fuel.
Gevo's primary market focus, given current demand and growing customer interest, is SAF. The Company believes it also has commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as (i) renewable natural gas (“RNG”), (ii) hydrocarbons for gasoline blendstocks and diesel fuel, and (iii) plastics, materials and other chemicals.
The Company believes it has the technology and know-how to convert various carbohydrate feedstocks through a fermentation process into alcohols and then transform the alcohols into renewable fuels and materials. While the Company expects its major capital deployments to focus on the production of SAF, Gevo recognizes there are opportunities to operate in several different markets, and it will pursue those opportunities when appropriate based on customer interest, access to capital and expected investment returns.
Gevo currently operates a wholly-owned development plant in Luverne, Minnesota (the "Luverne Facility"). The Luverne Facility was originally constructed in 1998 and is located on approximately
55
acres of land, which contains approximately
50,000
square feet of building space. Our Luverne Facility is a scale up and development site. Gevo intends to use the Luverne Facility to prove our processes, process concepts, unit operations and for other purposes in order to optimize feedstocks and the processes used for producing hydrocarbons from alcohols.
Gevo's renewable natural gas ("RNG") project in Northwest Iowa ("NW Iowa RNG") owned by Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, generates RNG captured from dairy cow manure. The manure is supplied by
three
local dairies that have over
20,000
milking cows in total with additional milking cows expected, pursuant to agreements executed during the second quarter of 2022. Animal manure can be digested anaerobically to produce biogas, which is then upgraded to pipeline quality gas referred to as RNG. Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC then sells the RNG to the California market through an agreement with BP Canada Energy Marketing Corp. and BP Products North America Inc. (collectively, "BP").
In 2021, Gevo began construction on NW Iowa RNG under a self-perform project delivery format. Most of the construction efforts were completed at the end of 2021, and in January 2022, Gevo began the process of commissioning the project. One of the three digesters is fully operational, and the others are currently in the start-up phase.
Ultimately, the Company believes that the attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon future events, including, but not limited to (i) the successful development of the Company's initial Net-Zero Project (the "Net-Zero 1 Project"); future projects for the production of energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy and our proprietary technology; and (ii) the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure.
Basis of presentation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do
not
include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for the six months ended,
June 30, 2022,
and are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial
10
Table of Contents
GEVO, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
statements and notes thereto included under the heading “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021
.
The financial statements at December 31, 2021, have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our audited financial statements and notes thereto included for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report").
Reclassifications.
The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation, including the categorization of depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These reclassifications had
no
impact on total revenues, total cost of goods sold, total operating expenses, net loss or stockholders' equity for any period.
2.
Revenues from Contracts with Customers and Other Revenues
The Company's limited revenues are derived from its development-scale plant, the Luverne Facility. These revenues are promotional in nature and from customer contracts for ethanol sales and related products and hydrocarbon revenues, which include SAF, isooctene, and isooctane. These products are sold mostly on a free-on-board, shipping point basis (recognized at a point in time), are independent transactions, do
not
provide post-sale support or promises to deliver future goods, and are single performance obligations.
3.
Net loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options and other dilutive securities outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. None of the Company's stock options or other dilutive securities are considered to be dilutive in periods with net losses.
The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 excluded
22,464,715

Leases, Right-of-Use Assets and Related Liabilities
The Company is party to an operating lease contract for the Company’s office and research facility in Englewood, Colorado, which expires in January 2029. The lease contains an option to extend the lease which management does not reasonably expect to exercise, so it is not included in the length of the term. The Company also has one production line piece of equipment with an operating lease that expires in 2024. As of June 30, 2022, right-of-use assets under operating leases totaling $
2.1
million are included in "Operating right-of use assets," and related lease liabilities totaling $
2.2
million ($
0.4
million in current and $
1.8
million in long-term) are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company also has
four
finance leases for land under arrangements related to NW Iowa RNG. Under these contracts, the Company leases land from dairy farmers on which it has built
three
anaerobic digesters, and related equipment and pipelines to condition raw biogas from cow manure provided by the farmers. The partially conditioned biogas is transported from the
three
digester sites to a central gas upgrade system located at the fourth site that will upgrade the biogas to pipeline quality RNG for sale. These leases expire at various dates between 2031 and 2050
.
The Company amended one of its leases in June 2022, which the Company treated as an existing lease modification due to an increase in the price per unit, resulting in an increase of the lease liability and right-of-use-asset by $
0.8
million.
Since the Company elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components, all amounts paid to the lessors under these arrangements for cow manure and non-lease services are classified as lease payments and are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. This results in significantly higher right-of-use assets and lease liabilities than if the Company did
not
elect this practical expedient. As of June 30, 2022
,
right-of-use assets under finance leases totaling $
27.5
million are included in "Finance right-of-use assets," and related lease liabilities totaling $
22.6
million are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following four tables present the (a) costs by lease category, (b) other quantitative information, and (c) future minimum payments under non-cancelable financing and operating leases as they relate to the Company’s leases (in thousands), except for weighted averages:

Our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we calculate the lease liability at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease.

Debt
2021 Bond Issuance
On April 15, 2021, on behalf of Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, the Iowa Finance Authority ("the "Authority") issued $
68,155,000
of its non-recourse Solid Waste Facility Revenue Bonds (Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC Renewable Natural Gas Project), Series 2021 (Green Bonds) (the "2021 Bonds") for NW Iowa RNG. The bond proceeds are being used as a source of construction financing alongside equity from the Company. The bonds were issued under a Trust Indenture dated April 1, 2021 (the "Indenture") between the Authority and Citibank, N.A. as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2021 Bonds mature April 1, 2042. The bonds initially bear interest at
1.50
% per annum during the Initial Term Rate Period, (as defined in the Indenture), payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The effective interest rate is
1
%. The bonds are supported by a $
71.2
million irrevocable direct pay letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") with a 1/2% annual fee, paid quarterly. The Letter of Credit expires April 4, 2024 (unless terminated earlier), and was issued by Citibank N.A. The Trustee can draw sufficient amounts on the Letter of Credit to pay the principal and interest until the first mandatory tender date of April 1, 2024. The bonds are callable and re-marketable on or after October 1, 2022. If the bonds have not been called and re-marketed by the first mandatory tender date, the Trustee may draw on the Letter of Credit to repay the bonds in their entirety at the purchase price. Gevo deposited $
71.2
million with the Trustee as restricted cash to secure any amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. As of June 30, 2022, no amounts have been drawn under the Letter of Credit.
Gevo anticipates re-marketing the 2021 Bonds in the fall of 2022 under revised terms that will include a long-term maturity date and be non-recourse to Gevo. Upon a successful remarketing, Gevo anticipates that the Letter of Credit, the associated reimbursement agreement and the associated pledge of cash will be terminated, with a concurrent release of the restricted cash securing the Letter of Credit.
The 2021 Bonds were issued at a premium of $
0.8
million and debt issuance costs were $
3.0
million. The bond debt is classified as long-term debt and is presented
net of the premium and issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the bonds using the interest method. As of June 30, 2022, the premium balance and the debt issuance cost net of amortization were $
0.5
million and $
1.9
million, respectively.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents
. The Company’s restricted cash and cash equivalents consists of unused proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Bonds and are restricted for the purpose of constructing NW Iowa RNG projects as well as amounts pledged and assigned to the Trustee in its capacity as provider of the Letter of Credit as collateral for the reimbursement obligations of Gevo.
The proceeds from issuance of the 2021 Bonds are maintained by the Trustee under the Indenture and are released to the Company only to pay costs of the construction of NW Iowa RNG. The Company has used $
63.8
million for the project. As of June 30, 2022, unused bond proceeds of $
5
million are included in restricted cash and classified as current since the proceeds will be distributed within 12 months.
As of
June 30, 2022
,
$
71.2
million is held in restricted cash as collateral for the Letter of Credit. The Company is entitled to receive interest income on the restricted cash.

Includes shares of common stock cancelled in relation to unvested restricted stock awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")
. The offering periods for the ESPP are from January 1 to June 30 and from July 1 to December 31 of each calendar year. The Company has reserved
190
shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP, of which
190
shares as of June 30, 2022, are available for future issuance. The purchase price of the common stock under the ESPP is
85
% lower than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first or last day of the purchase period. There were
no
purchases of common stock under the ESPP during the six months ended June 30, 2022,
or 2021
.
Stock Appreciation Rights.
The Company granted
67,739
stock appreciation rights valued at an aggregate of $
0.1
million on the respective dates of grant during the year ended December 31, 2018. The vesting period for stock appreciation rights granted are based upon a service period. The stock appreciation rights have the potential to be cash settled in the event there are insufficient shares available from the 2010 Plan and are therefore classified as a liability and remeasured at each reporting period based on the price of the Company's common stock.
Stock-based compensation expense
. The Company records stock-based compensation expense during the requisite service period for share-based payment awards granted to employees and non-employees. Our stock-based compensation is classified as either an equity award or a liability award in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value of an equity-classified award is determined at the grant date and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting life of the award. The fair-value of a liability-classified award is determined on a quarterly basis through the final vesting date and is amortized based on the current fair value of the award and the percentage of vesting period incurred to date.

Income Taxes
The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, therefore no provision for income taxes was recorded and all related deferred tax assets are fully reserved. We continue to assess the impact of a deferred tax asset as it relates to income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal matters
. From time to time, the Company has been, and
may
again become, involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is
not
presently a party to any litigation and is
not
aware of any pending or threatened litigation against the Company that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Indemnifications
. In the ordinary course of its business, the Company makes certain indemnities under which it
may
be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. As of June 30, 2022
,
the Company did
no
t
have any liabilities associated with indemnities.
In addition, the Company, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws, in each case, as amended to date, indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The duration of these indemnifications, commitments, and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that
may
enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company accrues for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that
may
arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is probable.
No
such losses have been recorded to date.
Environmental liabilities
. The Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws require the Company to investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at its locations. Accordingly, the Company has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, occupational health and the production, handling, storage and use of hazardous materials to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial

liability which could result from such events. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
No
environmental liabilities have been recorded as of June 30, 2022.
In February 2022, an incident occurred at one of the anaerobic digesters that is part of NW Iowa RNG that resulted in the accidental discharge of a mixture of water and manure into the environment. We promptly notified the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (the "DNR") and began mitigation work to minimize the impact of the discharge. The DNR has issued a notice of violation in connection with the discharge. This matter was resolved with the DNR in July 2022 through an administrative consent order and damages of $
10,000
were assessed.
In April 2022,
two
separate incidents occurred at
two
of the anaerobic digesters that are part of NW Iowa RNG that resulted in the accidental discharge of very small amounts of water and manure into the environment. The DNR has issued notices of violation in connection with the
two
discharges.
There is a possibility that the DNR will initiate an enforcement action with respect to the April 2022, discharges described above that could result in a monetary sanction being levied against Gevo for the accidental discharges. We do not believe that any such monetary sanctions would be material to the Company.
The Company's investment in Juhl is pledged as a collateral for
two
commitments related to a purchase of wind electricity for the Luverne Facility, as well as
100
% of RCWF's renewable energy credits. Gevo has a commitment to purchase all of RCWF's electricity. The portion not used by the Luverne Facility is charged to the Company at a lower price.

Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value, outline a framework for measuring fair value, and detail the required disclosures about fair value measurements. Under these standards, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. Standards establish a hierarchy in determining the fair market value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Standards require the utilization of the highest possible level of input to determine fair value.
Level 1 – inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data.
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data.

For the 2021 Bonds, the fair values are estimated using the Black-Derman-Toy interest rate lattice framework. The effective maturity of the 2021 Bonds was assumed to be April 1, 2024 (
three years
from issuance) with repayment of
100
% of principal on that date. The impact of the Company's optional redemption feature, effective October 1, 2022, is appropriately captured by the Black-Derman-Toy interest rate lattice.

Shareholders' Equity
Share Issuances
In February 2018, the Company commenced an at-the-market offering program, which allows it to sell and issue shares of its common stock from time to time. In 2021, the at-the-market offering program was amended to provide a total capacity of $
500.0
million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has remaining capacity to issue up to approximately $
360.6
million of common stock under the at-the-market offering program.
On June 8, 2022, the Company completed a registered direct offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of an aggregate of
33,333,336
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $
4.50
per share accompanied by
33,333,336
Series 2022-A warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, a “Series 2022-A Warrant”) (the “June 2022 Offering”). The Series 2022-A Warrants are exercisable for a term of
five years
from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $
4.37
per Series 2022-A Warrant. As of June 30, 2022, none of the Series 2022-A Warrants had been exercised.
The net proceeds to the Company from the June 2022 Offering were $
139.0
million, after deducting placement agent fees, advisory fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and not including any future proceeds from the exercise of the Series 2022-A Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the June 2022 Offering to
fund future operations and capital projects
.
Warrants
The Company evaluated the Series 2022-A Warrants for liability or equity classification and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Series 2022-A Warrants do not meet the definition of liability instruments.
The Series 2022-A Warrants are classified as component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Series 2022-A Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Series 2022-A Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined the fair value of the Series 2022-A Warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $
92.9
million. The key inputs to the valuation model included a weighted average volatility of
151.1
%, a risk-free rate of
2.86
% and an expected term of
five years
.
While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
On February 17, 2022, the Series K warrants expired with
7,126
unexercised warrants.
The following table sets forth information pertaining to shares issued upon the exercise of warrants:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). When used anywhere in this Report, the words “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial or operational performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about: the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic on our business, our financial condition, our results of operation and liquidity, our ability to finance and construct our Net-Zero 1 Project (as defined below), our ability to produce our products at our demonstration facility in Luverne, Minnesota (the “Luverne Facility”) or elsewhere, our ability to meet production, financial and operational guidance, our strategy to pursue low-carbon or "net-zero" carbon renewable fuels for sale into California and elsewhere, our ability to replace our fossil-based energy sources with renewable energy sources at our Net-Zero 1 Project, our Luverne Facility and elsewhere, our ability and plans to construct greenfield commercial hydrocarbon facilities to produce sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF") and renewable premium gasoline/isooctane, our ability to raise additional funds to finance our business, our ability to perform under our existing off-take agreements and other supply agreements we may enter into in the future, our ability to successfully construct and operate our renewable natural gas ("RNG") project in Iowa, our ability to produce renewable hydrocarbon products at a commercial level and at a profit, the availability of, and market prices for, government economic incentives to the renewable energy market, achievement of advances in our technology platform, the availability of suitable and cost-competitive feedstocks, our ability to gain market acceptance for our products, the expected cost-competitiveness and relative performance attributes of our products, our strategy to pursue alcohol-to-SAF, additional competition and changes in economic conditions and the future price and volatility of petroleum and products derived from petroleum. Important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements such as those contained in documents we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including this Report in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Annual Report”), including Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our 2021 Annual Report and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements in this Report are qualified entirely by the cautionary statements included in this Report and such other filings. These risks and uncertainties or other important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements contained in this Report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report. We undertake no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and readers should not rely on the forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of the filing of this Report.
Unless the context requires otherwise, in this Report the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Gevo, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Report. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect our business, including, without limitation, the disclosures in our 2021 Annual Report.
Company Overview
Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO), a Delaware corporation founded in 2005, is a growth-oriented company with the mission of solving the problem of greenhouse gas emissions for those sectors of the transportation industry that are not amenable to electrification or hydrogen. We believe that the market size for hydrocarbon fuels will continue to remain significant in the long-term even with the rapid adoption of electric vehicles and hydrogen technologies. We also believe that we can achieve at least one billion gallons of hydrocarbon production and sales by 2030.
29
We are focused on transforming renewable energy into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons that can be used as renewable fuels, such as SAF, with the potential to achieve a “net-zero” greenhouse gas ("GHG") footprint. We believe that this addresses the global need of reducing GHG emissions with "drop in" sustainable alternatives to petroleum fuels. We use Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) model (the "GREET Model") to measure, predict and verify GHG emissions across the life cycle of our products. The "net-zero" concept means we expect to produce fuels that could have
a carbon neutral or a net-zero GHG footprint across the whole of the life cycle of the fuel from capture of renewable carbon, through production, and subsequent burning of the fuel in, for example, a jet engine.
Our primary market focus, given current demand and growing customer interest, is SAF. We believe we also have commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as RNG, hydrocarbons for gasoline blendstocks and diesel fuel; ingredients for the chemical industry, such as ethylene and butenes; plastics and materials; and other chemicals. The global fuel consumption by commercial airlines was an all-time high of 95 billion gallons in 2019. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fuel consumption dropped to 52 billion gallons in 2020 and reached 57 billion gallons in 2021.
We believe that there is a growing and significant market demand for SAF based on a number of factors, including:
●
The International Air Transport Association ("IATA") 77
th
Annual General Meeting approved a resolution for the global air transport industry to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. IATA has 288 airline members, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, FedEx Express, United Airlines and UPS Airlines.
●
Starting on March 1, 2020, Delta Air Lines committed spending $1 billion over the next 10 years on its objective around mitigating emissions from its global business going forward. Delta will invest in driving innovation, advancing clean air travel technologies, accelerating the reduction of carbon emissions and waste, and establishing new projects to mitigate the balance of emissions.
●
The
one
world®
alliance committed to a target of 10% SAF use across the alliance by 2030 and plans to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
We believe we possess the ability to convert various carbohydrate feedstocks through a fermentation process into alcohols and then transform the alcohols into renewable fuels and materials, through a combination of our own technology, know-how, engineering, and licensing of technology and engineering from Axens North America, Inc. ("Axens"). While we expect our major capital deployments to focus on the production of SAF, we recognize there are opportunities to operate in several different renewable fuels and materials markets and we will pursue those opportunities when appropriate based on customer interest, access to capital, and expected investment returns.
Our production processes use carbohydrates as a feedstock. Carbohydrates are plant matter that result from photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the natural process by which carbon dioxide is captured from the air by plants. The carbon in carbohydrates is therefore renewable because it is already in the atmosphere. The carbohydrates are fermented to produce alcohol intermediate products (e.g., ethanol or isobutanol). The alcohol-based intermediates are then chemically processed to make renewable hydrocarbons. To achieve net-zero carbon intensity ("CI") across the whole life cycle of the products, we believe:
●
carbohydrates with a low CI score must be used in production;
●
the energy (electricity and heat source) used in production must be de-fossilized; and
●
the products cannot contain fossil-based carbon.
We believe sustainably grown industrial field corn (i.e., corn that is grown with precision agricultural techniques and low-till or no till cultivation to conserve nutrients, prevent water runoff, and erosion) is the best feedstock to commercialize initially because:
●
it produces a significant amount of protein and vegetable oil for nutritional products on a per acre basis while also producing an abundance of low CI carbohydrates that can be captured and used as a feedstock for fuels and chemicals;
●
the protein and oil that are produced, easily separated, and sold as co-products into the food chain markets. The protein and oil revenue serves to offset the cost of the corn feedstock;
30
●
we believe the carbon footprint of growing corn can be negative, according to calculations completed with the GREET Model, when a full suite of climate-smart agricultural practices is employed on appropriate acres of cropland;
●
we believe the corn can achieve lower CI scores when grown with climate-smart agricultural techniques than waste raw materials or wood; and
●
we believe that residual carbohydrates from corn are the lowest cost carbohydrates available as a renewable raw material, and the production is proven and scalable.
We believe utilizing sustainable agriculture practices to help solve GHG problems is a breakthrough that addresses the problem of GHGs without compromising sustainability or food supply. We also believe that it will be possible to create an incentive structure that rewards farmers to lower the CI score of their agricultural products and create a cycle of continuous improvement to their overall sustainability footprint.
Net-Zero Projects
In early 2021, we announced the concept of “Net-Zero Projects” as a series of planned facilities to produce energy dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy and our proprietary technology. The concept of a Net-Zero Project is to convert renewable energy (e.g., photosynthetic, wind, renewable natural gas, biogas) from a variety of sources into energy dense liquid hydrocarbons that, when burned in traditional engines, have the potential to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the whole lifecycle of the liquid fuel: from the way carbon is captured from the atmosphere, processed to make liquid fuel products, and burnt as a fuel for cars, planes, trucks and ships.
We announced our initial Net-Zero Project (“NZ1") is planned to be constructed at Lake Preston, South Dakota. NZ1 is expected to produce approximately 55 million gallons per year ("MGPY") of SAF or 62 MGPY of total hydrocarbon volumes, which would satisfy part of the more than 350 MGPY of financeable SAF and hydrocarbon supply agreements that are currently in place. The liquid hydrocarbons when burned are expected to have a “net-zero” GHG footprint. Along with the hydrocarbons, we expect to produce approximately 420 million pounds per year of high-value protein products for use in the food chain and more than 30 million pounds per year of corn oil. Our products will be produced in three stages; the first stage is the milling of the corn and production of protein, oil, and carbohydrates, the second stage involves alcohols production by fermentation and the third stage is the conversion of such alcohols into hydrocarbons. We have an exclusive license in the United States from
Axens
to the technology and plant designs to convert alcohols to hydrocarbon fuels. Axens will also provide certain process guarantees for the production process. Additionally, Axens has extensive commercial experience in the technology, design, and deployment of the unit operations needed to convert alcohols to hydrocarbon fuels, based on their experience in the petrochemical industry. The fermentation side of the facility is being engineered with companies that have extensive experience in fermentation and agriculture-based facilities. We believe that by using known commercial technologies, the plant design is substantially de-risked.
The transition to an ethanol-to-SAF design from Gevo’s original isobutanol-to-SAF and isooctane design has at NZ1 resulted in an expected increase of output capacity which should result in increased cash flow. Gevo’s ethanol-to-SAF engineering design work to date has resulted in a significant uplift in volumes and cash flows per unit of capital invested.
The NZ1 project is on schedule with initial volumes of SAF expected to be delivered in 2025. Key NZ1 development milestones are:
31
Through year-end 2022:
●
Complete the purchase of the land for NZ1 in Lake Preston, South Dakota. (this purchase was completed in July 2022)
●
Execute commercial development, build, own and operate agreements for water, wind energy and green hydrogen
●
Select engineering, procurement, and construction ("EPC") contractor
●
Select fabricator for hydrocarbon plant modules
●
Substantial completion of front-end engineering design ("FEED")
●
Break ground and begin site preparation at Lake Preston
●
Order long lead equipment
Through the first-half 2023:
●
Close the construction financing, including non-recourse debt
Gevo is also in the process of identifying and performing early site development work for additional SAF production locations. These sites include several greenfield locations that are particularly advantageous in terms of potential economics, opportunities to decarbonize, and time to market. In addition, we are pursuing prospects with several existing ethanol plant sites. Existing ethanol plants need to be decarbonized with renewable energy or de-fossilized energy and/or carbon sequestration. Gevo has developed a preferred list of partners and sites with decarbonization in mind and is engaged in preliminary feasibility and development discussions with several of them. We plan to give priority to existing plant sites that have attractive potential economics and high predictability of timeline for decarbonization.
Luverne Facility
The Luverne Facility continues to provide valuable knowledge and experience for the future strategic growth of the Company and its billion-gallon initiative. As a development site, operations will continue to be tailored to support a focus on advancing our technology, testing, and optimizing alternative feedstocks, yeast strains, and unit operations as well as partnership development for integrated GHG reductions. It is well equipped and positioned for optimization of the decarbonization and business cycle from feedstock to energy solutions. The site provides a unique opportunity to showcase our decarbonization and business systems and raise awareness for future partnerships, investors, and local communities. As a development site, the Luverne plant may operate intermittently between projects and activities.
Renewable Natural Gas Projects
In 2019, we began developing RNG projects. Manure can be digested anaerobically to produce biogas, which is then upgraded to pipeline quality RNG. RNG has value in markets such as California when injected and shipped through a natural gas pipeline. There is also value to Gevo’s hydrocarbon production process by giving us another option to achieve carbon negative GHG emissions on our renewable hydrocarbon products. The hydrocarbon products resulting from such a decarbonization process have lower CI scores and increased market value, in addition to having a more positive impact on the environment.
Gevo’s RNG project in Northwest Iowa (the “RNG Project”) has been producing biogas and is now upgrading and injecting RNG into a natural gas pipeline. The RNG Project generates renewable natural gas captured from dairy cow manure. The manure for the RNG Project is supplied by three dairy farms located in Northwest Iowa totaling over 20,000 milking cows. When at full operational capacity, the RNG Project is expected to generate approximately 355,000 MMBtu of RNG per year. Gevo's revenue from the RNG Project is expected to come from sales of RNG and from the environmental attributes associated with the RNG sales, including the attributes available from California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard ("LCFS") program and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Renewable Fuels Standard ("RFS"). Gevo expects to be able to get approval for Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) through RFS and carbon credits from LCFS later this year or next year.
We have been making improvements and incremental expansions to the RNG Project by investing in capital projects that may significantly improve its CI score and revenue, which in turn strengthen the overall economics of the project.
32
Gevo’s current estimated share of the capital cost for those improvements is approximately $1.9 million, which are 40% complete through the second quarter of 2022. The improvement and expansion work is on budget and expected to be completed early in the third quarter of 2022. In addition, in June 2022, we amended our lease with a dairy to provide additional manure, which may increase our RNG production in the future.
We have strong relationships throughout the industry supply chain from technology and equipment providers to feedstock owners, and RNG off-takers. We believe the trust and reputation we have attained in combination with our understanding of the various and complex environmental attributes gives us a competitive advantage. We leverage our relationships to identify and execute new project opportunities. Typically, new development opportunities come from our existing relationships with dairy owners who value our reputation in the industry.
We exercise financial discipline in pursuing projects by targeting attractive risk-adjusted project returns, whether selling RNG into the markets or using it to lower CI scores at our Net-Zero Projects. We will monitor biogas supply availability across our portfolio and seek to maximize production at existing projects by expanding operations when economically feasible.
Verity and Carbon Tracking
Capturing and accurately counting carbon data across the whole of the business system is a critical part of Gevo’s business model, and the CI scores across the whole of the carbon life cycle, from feedstock through the burning of fuels. Through the use of the GREET Model and a field level tracking approach, our goal is to obtain carbon credits for the improved agricultural practices related to climate-smart agriculture such as precision agriculture and tillage practices (i.e., low till and no-till cultivation). We believe there is an opportunity to document, verify, and monetize that carbon value which is not otherwise counted and reward value chain partners, including farmers, for improving sustainability. Gevo’s current economic projections do not take into account this upside in value.
Verity Tracking ("Verity") is a joint venture between Gevo and Blocksize Capital GmbH ("Blocksize") to develop and commercialize carbon value and other sustainable attributes. Verity is developing the tools, techniques, software, data access to track carbon scores and other sustainability attributes using “blockchain” technology. The benefit is having audited, transparent, immutable sustainability data attached to biofuels and is expected to be valuable to our customers, colleague companies, and partners. Gevo and Blocksize have identified a series of internal milestones that Verity will need to achieve over the next few quarters to expand the joint venture into a stand-alone business unit, either as part of Gevo or as a separate entity.
Verity has continued to develop third-party partnerships that will contribute to its development objectives over the coming quarters. Verity and Gevo partnered with Farmers Edge Inc. ("Farmers Edge"), a company dedicated to helping farmers track data and improve agricultural decision making. As of March 31, 2022, Farmers Edge reported over 17.3 million subscribed acres having implemented their solutions.
Gevo has begun to develop the agricultural Climate-Smart Data for some of the key farms that would supply its NZ1 plant. Gevo intends to work with Verity to accurately account for and determine value for the carbon reductions captured in feedstocks, both during fuel production and in final products, to help our customers and value chain partners achieve their sustainability goals.
Market Development
Gevo now has more than 350 MGPY of financeable SAF and hydrocarbon fuel supply agreements, which are expected to support project debt financing. This level of demand would require three additional plants equal in size to the expected capacity of NZ1 to be built over the next four years to satisfy those agreements. Based on current market projections and operating assumptions, these agreements collectively represent approximately $2.1 billion in expected
33
revenue per year, inclusive of the environmental benefits value. A list of the recently announced supply agreements is noted below:

Recent Developments
Equity Offering.
On June 8, 2022, the Company completed a registered direct offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors and received net proceeds of $139.0 million (after placement agent fees, advisory fees and estimated offering expenses) to fund future operations and capital projects. As part of the offering, the Company issued 33,333,336 Series 2022-A warrants with an exercise price of $4.37 per share and a five-year term. If all 33,333,336 Series 2022-A warrants were to be exercised in cash at the exercise price of 4.37 per share, the Company would receive additional net proceeds of approximately $145.7 million.
The recent offering has further strengthened the Company’s balance sheet, which is expected to facilitate the financing of the Company’s NZ1 project and to provide financial resources for the Company’s numerous growth opportunities. Gevo is in the process of determining additional plant sites to meet the demand under its existing
SAF
and hydrocarbon supply agreements, and some of the proceeds are expected to be used to advance those efforts.
Chevron
. The letter of intent between Gevo and Chevron signed in September of 2021 and scheduled to expire on March 31, 2022, has been extended until August 31, 2022. Chevron and the Company mutually agreed upon the extension, which allows discussions and negotiations to continue.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact global commercial activity, including the global transportation industry and its supply chain, and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. It is possible that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on general economic activity could negatively impact our revenue and operating results for 2022 and beyond. In light of the current and potential future disruption to our business operations and those of its customers, suppliers and other third parties with whom we do business, we considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global transportation industry may result in less demand for our transportation fuel products in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and our prospects for the foreseeable future.
There is also a risk that COVID-19 could have a material adverse impact on the development of our NZ1 project, customer demand and cash flow, depending on the extent of our future production activities.

Revenue.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 9 thousand gallons of SAF, isooctane, and isooctene from
our Luverne Facility
. Revenue decreased $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, due to the Luverne Facility being operated for the Company's development projects on a as needed basis.
Cost of goods sold.
Cost of goods increased $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in direct labor and utility expenses as the Luverne Facility was not fully staffed during the second quarter of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of our costs are related to the production of SAF, isooctane, and isooctene as we continue to develop and tailor our Luverne Facility demonstration operations to support our focus on advancing technology, testing and optimizing alternative feedstocks, yeast strains, and unit operations as well as partnership development for integrated GHG reductions. Cost of goods sold also includes a $2.1 million net realizable gain adjustment made to our finished goods and work in process inventory. There were no inventory net realizable value adjustments recorded during the three months
ended June 30, 2021, as the Luverne Facility was temporarily shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021. For a description of our other critical accounting policies and estimates that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to our 2021 Annual Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $173.0 million, short and long-term restricted cash of $76.2 million and short-term
marketable securities of $297.6 million
. The marketable securities are highly liquid and can be converted to cash when needed for operations and construction. We expect to use our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities for the following purposes: (i) identification, development, acquisition and construction of new production facilities and to plan for expanded production to fulfill existing off-take agreements under the NZ1 project, including the Company's Net-Zero projects; (ii) potential investment in RNG projects; (iii) potential development of the Luverne Facility; (iv) development, acquisition and operation of sustainable alcohol-to-SAF plants to produce SAF alone or with partners; (v) operating activities at the Company's corporate headquarters in Colorado, including research and development work; (vi) exploration of strategic alternatives and additional financing, including project financing; and (vii) future debt service obligations. We believe as a result of our cash and cash equivalents balances, and the performance of our current and expected operations, we will be able to meet our obligations and other potential cash requirements during the next 12 months from the date of this report.
Since our inception in 2005, we have devoted most of our cash resources to the development and commercialization of routes to efficiently produce fuels and chemicals from carbohydrates, such as renewable feedstock, using alcohols
38
(isobutanol and ethanol) as intermediates. We have incurred losses since inception, have a significant accumulated deficit, and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of equity, debt securities, and borrowings under debt facilities.
The Company's transition to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the successful development and commercialization of its product candidates, the development, acquisition and construction of commercial level production facilities to support that Company's off-take agreements, the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support the Company's cost structure, and the ability to raise capital to finance the development, acquisition, and construction of additional productions facilities.
On January 27, 2022, the Company’s stockholders voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 250 million shares to 500 million shares. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities. In addition, the Company may seek additional capital, on acceptable terms, through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operations.
The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for each of the periods set forth below (in thousands):

Operating Activities
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are personnel-related expenses, research and development-related expenses, including costs incurred under development agreements, costs of licensing of technology, legal-related costs, expenses for the development and commercialization of routes to efficiently produce fuels and chemicals from carbohydrates, such as renewable feedstock, using alcohols (isobutanol and ethanol) as intermediates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used for operating activities was $17.1 million compared to $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $2.4 million decrease was
primarily due to increased costs associated with our production of isobutanol and hydrocarbon products for market development, process technology and related process engineering work. In addition, we had increases in personnel expenses to support the growth in business activity, partnership development and Verity development expenses.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $8.4 million in cash for investing activities, of which $169.1 million related to proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, offset by the reinvestment of $131.3 million in marketable securities, and $46.0 million of investments in our capital projects, including $26.3 million
in the RNG Project, $15.4 million in the NZ1 Project, as well as $4.2 million in development projects at Agri-Energy and Gevo.
We completed the construction of the RNG Project and may invest up to an additional
$11.4 m
illion for start-up, improvements, and expansions during the remainder of 2022 or into 2023. Our preliminary NZ1 Project's forecast of additional capital expenditures ranges from
$100 million to $120 million,
which includes engineering, development, long-lead equipment deposits, infrastructure support costs associated with electricity, natural gas, raw water, and wastewater service needs, debt financing costs, and debt pre-close project construction costs.
39
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had $138.6 million of net cash provided by financing activities, primarily due to $139.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and common stock warrants in the June 2022 Offering, net of issuance costs, partially offset by $0.3 million related to the net settlement of common stock under stock plans and $0.1 million of payments for finance lease liabilities and certain equipment loans.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes since our disclosure in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in Part II, Item 7A of our 2021 Annual Report
.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosures.
During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we have been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any litigation, other disputes and regulatory proceedings that we believe to be material and we are not aware of any pending or threatened proceedings against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
In February 2022, an incident occurred at one of the anaerobic digesters that is part of NW Iowa RNG that resulted in the accidental discharge of a mixture of water and manure into the environment. We promptly notified the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (the "DNR") and began mitigation work to minimize the impact of the discharge. The DNR has issued a notice of violation in connection with the discharge. This matter was resolved with the DNR in July 2022 through an administrative consent order and damages of $10,000 were assessed.
In April 2022, two separate incidents occurred at two of the anaerobic digesters that are part of NW Iowa RNG that resulted in the accidental discharge of very small amounts of water and manure into the environment. The DNR has issued notices of violation in connection with the two discharges.
There is a possibility that the DNR will initiate an enforcement action with respect to the April 2022 discharges described above that could result in a monetary sanction being levied against Gevo for the accidental discharges. We do not believe that any such monetary sanctions would be material.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors included in our Annual Report. The risk factors in our 2021 Annual Report are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
