This week, CEO Patrick Gruber, President Chris Ryan, Chief Business Officer Paul Bloom and other members of the management team had the pleasure of personally welcoming the newest team members from Gevo North Dakota, formerly known as Red Trail Energy. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our incredible staff and gain insight into the great work being done not only at the plant but in the region. We also held productive meetings with local growers and community members. These discussions were focused on fostering collaboration and exploring ways to support our agricultural partners and the community as a whole. We’re looking forward to building strong relationships and continue driving rural development! Verity #Gevo #CommunityEngagement #teamwork #regenAg

This week, we traveled to North Dakota to join our clients, Gevo, Inc., as they introduced themselves to the Richardton community. Gevo recently completed the acquisition of Red Trail Energy's ethanol production plant and carbon capture and sequestration assets, marking an exciting new chapter for the company and western ND. Local growers who supply grain to the facility, along with community members, had the opportunity to connect with Gevo’s leadership team, gain insight into their vision and goals, explore market opportunities, and talk about the creation of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from ethanol. The discussions also highlighted the potential for future collaboration and partnerships to drive innovation at the Richardton facility. #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #CarbonCapture #StakeholderRelations
