Gevo Applauds United Airlines Pledge to Include SAF in Reducing Their Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado – Dec. 11, 2020 – Gevo, Inc., applauds the recent announcement from United Airlines to take the ambitious step of pledging to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 100% by 2050, which includes the usage of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) .

“We welcome United’s positive announcement to support the reduction of greenhouse gases. We wholeheartedly agree SAF is the fastest and most effective way United can reduce its emissions,” stated Patrick R. Gruber, chief executive officer of Gevo. “Gevo’s SAF is approved for use in commerce and has already been used to power numerous commercial flights around the world, including flights by United. It is also notable the possibility to have a net zero, or even negative, GHG profile with SAF like ours. That is a game changer. It is good for the airline industry, good for US farmers, good for consumers, and good for the environment.”
