Current report
In addition to generating value from physical products such as fuels, chemicals, protein, feed and oil, our business model is designed to generate carbon abatement value through our production processes, plant design, and operating systems. This carbon abatement value may be monetized through mechanisms such as direct sales of certified carbon credits, Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”), state-level clean fuel credits, federal tax credits enacted under the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”), Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (“CFR”), state level clean fuel regulations, and, in certain cases, through the value attributed to reduced Scope 1 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions by end customers, particularly related to fuel products. Gevo owns certain operating assets that generate cash flow and expects growth by developing markets, pursuing project development, investing in capital assets, and licensing certain technologies.
Current report
In order to build out an ATJ platform, we need to have low cost, low carbon alcohol available as a feedstock. We also believe carbon capture and sequestration is a critical component of producing a low carbon footprint alcohol. We believe Gevo North Dakota (“GevoND”) provides a commercial operating platform that supports our broader ATJ strategy by supplying low-carbon ethanol feedstock and generating carbon abatement value through its operations.
Current report
Gevo is developing a business system that not only benefits Gevo but is also expected to be attractive to other companies seeking to produce SAF. Gevo has the plant designs and technologies, as well as the carbon accounting, carbon tax credit marketing, carbon sales, and fuel sales capabilities that can benefit other companies looking to develop and license Gevo’s ATJ platform under a franchise model.

Current report
The Company has also conducted preliminary engineering and design work for an ATJ-180 configuration which remains in the development stage. ATJ-180 is being designed to produce approximately 180 MMGPY of SAF and related hydrocarbon products. Advancement of ATJ-180 will depend on market conditions, customer demand, availability of financing, regulatory support, and access to suitable infrastructure.
Current report
In order to achieve full construction financing for an ATJ plant, we intend to secure debt and possibly third-party equity. On October 16, 2024, we received a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Energy Dominance Financing Program (“EDF”) (formerly known as the Loan Programs Office) for a loan guarantee facility with a capacity of approximately $1.6 billion (including capitalized interest during construction) for our ATJ-60 project (formerly known as Net-Zero 1) in Lake Preston, South Dakota. The receipt of a conditional commitment was significant as it helped to validate the ATJ plant design integrity, which underpinned the DOE’s diligence process. In April 2026, we decided to withdraw our application for a DOE loan guarantee as (i) the business objectives required by the EDF to support enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) are not yet commercially viable at scale in the project area, and (ii) opportunities for alternative financing and broadened product offerings are better aligned with company strategy and can accelerate the timeline for project execution. The withdrawal reserves the opportunity for Gevo to resubmit an application for a project at a later date, if desired. Gevo intends to continue its efforts on the ATJ-30 project.

Key Operating Metrics
Current report
Gevo North Dakota operating metrics. Total operating revenues reflect sales of low-carbon ethanol, ethanol-related co-products and carbon removal credits. As a result, our revenues are primarily affected by unit production of low-carbon ethanol, ethanol-related co-products, the registration of carbon removal credits and low-carbon fuel pathways, and the prices at which we monetize such production. Production costs are reduced by the generation of clean fuel production tax credits. The following table summarizes the key operating metrics described above, recorded on the GevoND segment, which metrics we use to measure performance, and covers the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for 2025, the two month period from January 31, 2025, when Gevo closed on the acquisition of all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Red Trail Energy, to March 31, 2025.

As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2025 Annual Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Current report
This section discusses comparisons between the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024 and other discussions of 2025 items can be found within Part II, Item 7, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026, which is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our corporate website at www.gevo.com.
Current report
*Operating revenue.*During the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating revenue increased by $13.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31,2025. This increase was primarily due to $15.2 million of additional revenue from GevoND, which was acquired on January 31, 2025, and accordingly, results for the prior year period include only two months of GevoND revenue. Revenue from GevoRNG decreased by $1.1 million, primarily due to lower revenue from environmental attributes, whereas the prior year period benefited from $1.7 million of additional revenue driven by higher LCFS credits generated as a result of an improved carbon score under the LCFS program, including 2024 amounts recognized upon CI approval, which created a period-over-period timing impact. Additionally, revenue from the sale of isooctane at Gevo decreased $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Current report
Cost of production. Cost of production decreased $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. GevoND’s cost of production for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was consistent with prior year period. The prior year period reflected only two months of operating activity, whereas the current year period reflects a full three months. Cost of production in the current period also benefited from $16.5 million of clean fuel production tax credits, which mostly offset the increase. GevoRNG’s production cost decreased by $1.0 million, to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $1.0 million of clean fuel tax credit recognized during the current period, which reduced net production costs. Cost of production for the Gevo segment decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower carbon-related activity during the current period.
Current report
General and administrative expense. General and administrative increased by $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31,2025. General and administrative expenses for GevoND increased by $3.0 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the prior year period reflecting only two months of activity as a result of the timing of the acquisition. The current period also included approximately $1.2 million of costs related to clean fuel production tax credit transactions, tax opinion and insurance related expenses. General and administrative expenses for GevoRNG decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower intercompany overhead allocation costs. General and administrative expense for the Gevo segment increased by $2.6 million, primarily due to $2.7 million in accrued executive severance costs and $0.7 million of debt modification expenses, partially offset by lower professional services costs.
Current report
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31,2025, primarily due to the Term Loan Amendment, which closed in February 2026. Although our debt balance did not increase significantly, the Term Loan Amendment accrues interest at a higher rate than the bonds that were repaid with the proceeds. Both GevoND and GevoRNG are borrowers and guarantors under the amended Term Loan, as such interest is allocated between the segments.
Current report
*Loss on extinguishment of bonds.*During the three months ended March 31, 2026, The Company recognized a $10.3 million loss on extinguishment of its Remarketed Bonds and Series 2025A Bonds at GevoRNG. The loss represents the amount paid to extinguish the bonds in excess of their carrying amounts. The Company paid a $6.4 million prepayment penalty and wrote off $3.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of the bonds.
Current report
*Other expense, net.*Other expense, net increased by $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase of $1.0 million in the Gevo segment reflects the write off of deferred debt financing costs in connection with the Company’s withdrawal from the DOE loan guarantee process. The increase of $0.5 million in GevoFuels represents the write off of $0.5 million of construction in progress related to certain isobutanol assets.

Principal Components of Our Cost Structure
Current report
Cost of Production. Our cost of production consists primarily of costs directly associated with the production of ethanol and related products, RNG and other renewable hydrocarbon products, including isobutanol, SAF, and isooctane. Such costs include direct materials, direct labor, other operating costs and certain plant overhead costs, which are partially offset by the generation of CFPCs. Direct materials include feedstock, denaturant and process chemicals. Direct labor includes compensation (including stock-based compensation) of personnel directly involved in production operations. Other operating costs include utilities and natural gas and wind power usage.
Current report
Research and Development. Our research and development expense consists of costs incurred to identify, develop and test our technologies for the production of renewable hydrocarbon products and the development of downstream applications thereof. Research and development expense includes personnel costs (including stock-based compensation), consultants and related contract research, facility costs, supplies, license fees paid to third parties for use of their intellectual property and patent rights and other overhead expenses incurred to support our research and development programs.
Current report
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs (including stock-based compensation), consulting and service provider expenses (including patent counsel-related costs), legal fees, marketing costs, insurance costs, occupancy-related costs, travel and relocation expenses and hiring expenses. Our corporate personnel, consisting of subject matter experts, including chemists, engineers, and sustainability experts, dedicate the majority of their time and efforts for the development of our growth projects.
Current report
Project Development Costs. Project development costs consist of consulting, preliminary engineering costs, personnel expenses (including stock-based compensation) and research and development expenses to support the business activities of our ATJ and Verity projects.
Current report
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization relates to property, plant and equipment associated with the production of ethanol, ethanol related products, RNG and other renewable hydrocarbon products, including isobutanol, SAF, and isooctane, as well as that used in product development.
Current report
Our primary uses of cash from operating activities include costs associated with operating our ethanol and RNG production facilities, including feedstock procurement, utilities, maintenance, logistics, and related working capital requirements. We also incur personnel-related and research and development expenses as we continue to invest in renewable fuels and chemicals using ethanol and isobutanol as intermediates. As our operations have evolved, a significant portion of our operating cash flows is driven by production-related and working capital requirements associated with these facilities.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31,2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement with affiliates of OIC for an additional borrowings of $70 million. The proceeds from the amendment were partially used to redeem the Remarketed Bonds and the Series 2025A Bonds at Gevo NW Iowa RNG.

electrification or hydrogen. We produce and sell competitively priced, renewable, drop-in products for these sectors, and generate carbon abatement value through our plant design and business systems. Carbon abatement value can be valorized via Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”), state credits, tax credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (“CFR”) and the value of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions for end customers. Gevo is primarily a project development, investment, and technology company, which also holds certain operating assets with the intent of generating cash flow.
Previous report
In the United States, we believe that the most practical economical feedstock to make jet fuel and other hydrocarbons are plant sugars from non-food corn. During processing, the corn kernels’ sugars (carbohydrates) are converted into ethanol, and the resulting protein and oil fractions are captured and marketed as valuable co-products. The ethanol can then be converted into jet fuel through a series of catalytic chemical process steps. For its initial series of ATJ plants, Gevo uses commercially proven process steps, and optimizes them into an overall design that creates high selectivity of products, and minimizes energy use in the integrated plant. The jet fuel and diesel products are drop-in fuels that meet standard specifications. In addition to meeting standard fuels specifications, production of the fuels also create the attributes of carbon removal and carbon abatement. In other words, it is possible through Gevo process designs, carbon sequestration, and energy sourcing to produce jet fuel that can achieve a zero or even negative footprint across the whole life cycle. Market demand for jet fuel continues to increase, and the Company’s technologies are designed to produce economical, sustainable fuel that may help address this demand. In addition, global interest in carbon abatement and removal is growing, and the Company’s processes are designed to enable participation in this evolving market.
Previous report
We use the Argonne National Laboratory’s 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. Gevo expects that by using sustainably grown feedstock (e.g., low till, no-till cultivation, ethanol and other alcohols) and renewable and substantially decarbonized energy sources, drop-in hydrocarbon fuels can be produced that have a reduced or eliminated full life cycle footprint measured from the capture of renewable carbon through the burning of the fuel. This is because such feedstocks come from crops, which take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and convert it into biomass through photosynthesis. This yields vital amino acid nutrients, or protein, that humans and animals can consume, as well as vegetable oil and carbohydrates, or sugar. The plant sugar may be fermented with microorganisms to produce a clean alcohol suitable for on-road fuels, or for further industrial scale chemical processing into hydrocarbons. Given the overabundance of plant-derived sugar, the growing unmet demand for drop-in, renewable hydrocarbons such as jet fuel, and the availability of demonstrated industrial-scale technologies that can convert plant sugars to alcohols and then to hydrocarbons, we view our projects as first movers in an attractive, scalable new industry connecting this overabundance of plant sugar to unmet demand for products such as low-carbon ethanol, nutrients and jet fuel.

In order to achieve full construction financing for an ATJ plant, we need to secure debt and possibly third-party equity. On October 16, 2024, we received a conditional commitment from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) for a loan guarantee facility with a capacity of approximately $1.6 billion (including capitalized interest during construction). This milestone was significant as it helped to validate ATJ plant design integrity, which is underpinned by the DOE LPO’s diligence process. On October 8, 2025, the company received a letter from the DOE LPO granting an extension of the Conditional Commitment until April 16, 2026 (the “Extension”). The Extension allows the Company and DOE LPO to evaluate certain potential modifications to the project scope under the conditional commitment in order to address energy policies and priorities. The Conditional Commitment will remain effective during the extension period in order to allow for modifications which satisfy DOE LPO. The potential scope modifications include the construction of a lower cost ATJ-30 facility at GevoND and the optimal use of captured carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery.

Key Verity project highlights include:
Previous report
It is critical that we prove the CI of Gevo’s products, ensuring that these values are accurate and auditable. The mission of Verity is to document CI and other sustainability attributes and apply Distributed Ledger Technology, commonly referred to as blockchain, to create a record of the products throughout the entire business system. Verity starts by calculating carbon intensity of feedstocks from data collected at the farm and field level. We plan to track these feedstocks through production at our plants where we intend to use a mix of renewable electricity, biogas, renewable hydrogen and other potentially decarbonized energy sources in production. The aggregated CI data supports a finished renewable fuel with a net CI reduction which can be quantified as a digital asset and monetized in voluntary or compliance carbon markets, and used to meet compliance requirements for tax incentives while preventing double-counting. We believe that in the future, regenerative agricultural practices have the potential to sequester large quantities of soil organic carbon while improving soil health.
Previous report
There is increasing regulatory and stakeholder pressure on global corporations to lower emissions. These trends are driving demand for carbon credits, giving rise to two sets of markets, the regulated compliance carbon market and the unregulated voluntary carbon market, both of which could grow meaningfully in the coming decades. Verity intends to document and account for carbon capture in conjunction with scientifically supported measurement techniques. The potential for Verity is broad and could be applicable to tracking the CI of various items beyond Gevo’s internal businesses, including, but not limited to, renewable fuels, food, feed and industrial products through their respective business systems and value chains. Our robust scientific measurement, reporting, and verification plan and approach is expected to provide a high-quality credit that should meet regulated compliance and unregulated carbon markets.

Verity Contracts. In March 2023, we entered into a joint development framework agreement with Southwest Iowa Renewable Energy; in August 2023, we entered into a joint development framework agreement with a second ethanol producer in the midwestern U.S. that has over 100 million gallons of capacity; and in October 2023, we entered into an agreement with a third ethanol producer in the southwestern U.S. These agreements include commercial terms and profit-sharing frameworks. As we grow Verity as an externally facing business, we are working to sign up additional ethanol and biofuel customers. Our customers agreements focus on implementing Verity technology and developing the market for carbon credits to help farmers and biofuel producers quantify the CI reductions for their products.
Previous report
During the second quarter of 2023, we launched the Verity Tracking platform (the “Platform”) with farmers in the Lake Preston, South Dakota area who participated in our 2022 grower program. In its initial release, the Platform allows the users to measure, report, verify, and view the CI scores at both the farm average and field-by-field levels. The Platform provides insights into the contributors and removers behind the CI, helping users to understand the factors that drive differences in CI performance between fields. Users can also compare their scores with the U.S. national average calculated by the GREET model.
Previous report
In the third and fourth quarters of 2024, Verity entered into agreements with two additional ethanol plants, extending our reach in the U.S. ethanol market. One of those plants is GevoND, formerly Red Trail Energy, which Gevo acquired in January of 2025. Verity also added two soybean processing facilities to assist in tracking environmental aspects of soybean oil and renewable diesel, enabling them to expand into new markets. We expect to continue adding new Verity customers from our sales pipeline.

Acquisition of CultivateAI. In the third quarter of 2024, Gevo acquired CultivateAI, a leading provider of agricultural data through a cloud-based, mobile SaaS platform. CultivateAI is a proven business with a track record of repeatable revenue. The business provides agricultural data to clients through a SaaS platform, leveraging high-resolution drone and satellite technology. This process begins by capturing detailed imagery of an agricultural operation. CultivateAI uses that information to build missing GIS maps and create a digital agricultural inventory, including facilities, assets, and crops. This comprehensive digital inventory generates quantifiable insights that help customers improve management practices and overall performance. CultivateAI’s technology has enabled Verity to accelerate its technology and business development efforts and overall growth.

Luverne Facility.** **On May 28, 2025, Gevo entered into a definitive agreement to sell Agri-Energy, LLC (“Agri”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gevo, to A.E. Innovation, LLC (“A.E.”) for $7 million, which closed in October 2025. The transaction included the Luverne Facility. Gevo retained ownership of certain isobutanol production related assets and a portion of the vacant land at the site for future use. With these retained assets, Gevo could potentially produce up to 1 million gallons per year of isobutanol, which can be sold as a specialty chemical or converted into isooctane and jet fuel. A.E., an agriculture-oriented buyer group located in Minnesota, acquired the ethanol plant and a portion of the land with the intent to restart ethanol production, which has been idled since 2022 as we shifted focus to our Renewable Jet Fuel Platform. Over the last several years, the Luverne Facility, in conjunction with local farmers, has been used as a demonstration site for educating Gevo’s stakeholders about regenerative agriculture and the versatility of corn and its co-products, as well as biofuel production, including SAF, isobutanol, and ethanol.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates and policies since March 31, 2025, except for the adoption of a new accounting policy related to the recognition, measurement, and presentation of transferable Clean Fuel Production Credits under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code. In accordance with IAS 20, "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance," we have adopted a policy to account for the Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit as a form of government assistance. This credit, which was part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and subsequently extended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, incentivizes the production of clean transportation fuels, is available to us for the production of low-carbon ethanol and SAF meeting specific carbon intensity reduction criteria. The credit is available for such fuels produced starting January 1, 2025, and we have the option to transfer these credits to third parties in exchange for cash as a means for us to monetize their value.
Previous report
Under this new policy, we recognize the Section 45Z credits as an intangible asset, which is treated as a reduction to Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) when the qualifying fuel is produced. The amount recognized is based on the fair value per gallon of fuel produced, which is determined based on the expected transfer price of the credits. The recognition of the credits is contingent on meeting the relevant criteria under Section 45Z, including compliance with sustainability and carbon intensity reduction thresholds.

Current wording
Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO), a Delaware corporation founded in 2005, is a growth-oriented company that focuses on hard to decarbonize market sectors such as jet fuel, certain specialty fuels, on-road fuels, chemicals and materials, and certain products for the food and feed chain such as protein and feeds made as co-products from our processes. Each of the market areas that Gevo focuses on has the common need for carbon-based products and is not conducive to full electrification or hydrogen. We produce and sell competitively priced, renewable, drop-in products for these sectors, and generate carbon abatement value through our plant design and business systems.
Previous wording
Our primary market focus, given the large demand and growing customer interest, is carbon abated hydrocarbon fuels, including jet fuel. We believe that jet fuel produced from an ATJ process is the most economically viable approach to meet growing jet fuel demand and to generate value from carbon abatement. We also have commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as RNG; hydrocarbons for gasoline and racing fuel blendstocks and diesel fuel; ingredients for the chemical industry, such as ethylene and butenes for plastics and materials; and other chemicals. With our facility in North Dakota (“GevoND”), which specializes in the production of ethanol and feed co-products from corn and sequestering carbon through its carbon capture and sequestration asset, we have expanded our capabilities in the biofuels and carbon marketing sector. GevoND complements our renewable fuels strategy and enhances our ability to provide sustainable fuel alternatives and carbon sequestration, supporting our broader goal of diversifying valuable product streams.

The acquired assets include an ethanol production plant, a carbon capture and storage well, and leases which give us rights to use additional pore space for carbon capture. The operational personnel of Red Trail Energy joined Gevo upon the closing of the acquisition. The acquired ethanol production facility converts corn into ethanol and distillers grains, a high-protein animal feed containing essential amino acid nutrients, and corn oil. The included carbon capture and sequestration (“CCS”) assets support Gevo’s broader carbon abatement goals, particularly in relation to its Renewable Jet Fuel Platform. We believe the acquisition strengthens Gevo’s growth trajectory by adding ethanol production, distillers grains, corn oil, and carbon dioxide removal (“CDR”) credit sales to our revenue stream, while also enhancing our capabilities in CCS and supporting our broader strategic efforts in SAF production which use low-carbon alcohol as a feedstock.

ATJ-30. We have duplicated and modified the ATJ-60 design into an ATJ-30 design which we expect will be deployed for our GevoND site, which would upgrade the low-carbon ethanol already produced onsite to jet fuel. We expect to continue engineering and development through 2025 and into 2026 before completing the front-end engineering design (“FEED”) phase of the project. At the end of FEED, we expect to have a capital estimate and schedule for the project. Because we began with the designs and know-how from the ATJ-60 project, we are able to shorten the time and costs to complete the development phase of the project. An ATJ-30 plant located at and integrated to our existing ethanol plant and carbon sequestration is our current primary focus for jet fuel commercialization.

ATJ-60. ATJ-60 is designed to produce approximately 65 MMGPY of total hydrocarbon volumes, including 60 MMGPY of SAF. The liquid hydrocarbons, when burned, are expected to have a “net zero” GHG footprint. Along with the hydrocarbons, ATJ-60 is expected to produce approximately 1.3 billion pounds per year of high-value protein products for use in the food chain and approximately 30 million pounds per year of corn oil. Our products will be produced in three steps: the first step is milling the corn to produce the carbohydrates needed for the production of SAF while simultaneously enabling the production of protein and oil; the second step produces alcohols using carbohydrate-based fermentation; and the third step is the conversion of the alcohols into hydrocarbons. In connection with the planned construction of Gevo’s ATJ-60 SAF facility, Gevo commissioned an analysis by Charles River Associates, which estimated that the facility will contribute approximately $116 million annually to the local economy, generating 100 direct jobs at the plant and creating an additional 736 local jobs. Furthermore, the analysis estimated that (i) the construction phase of the ATJ-60 facility is projected to provide a temporary $184 million economic boost and support 1,266 jobs; and (ii) the facility is expected to generate $1.82 per gallon of SAF produced in local economic value and contribute an estimated $23 million annually in federal tax revenue. However, given the uncertainty associated with the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline for carbon sequestration, this project is currently on hold.

We are evaluating and performing early site development work at several sites in the U.S. for other greenfield sites. These sites include several locations that are particularly advantageous in terms of potential economics, opportunities to decarbonize, and time to market. In addition, we are pursuing potential Alcohol-to-Jet Projects 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 potential partners and sites with decarbonization in mind and is engaged in preliminary feasibility and development discussions with several of these potential partners. We plan to give priority to existing industrial plant sites that have attractive potential economics and high predictability of timeline for decarbonization.

Previous wording
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 (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. Historically we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of equity and warrants, borrowings under debt facilities, and interest income. Our current sources of cash include sales of ethanol, distillers grains, RNG, environmental attributes, and licensing fees. We may also fund future operations through additional private and/or public offerings of equity or debt securities. In addition, we may seek additional capital, on acceptable terms, through arrangements with strategic partners or from other sources. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds or achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows from operations.

We currently expect to finance the construction of ATJ at the subsidiary level using a combination of our own, third-party, and debt capital. The Company expects to retain an equity interest in the project and may invest equity in the project using the proceeds from the reimbursement of the Company’s ATJ development expenditures. Cash distributions from future ATJ earnings would be proportionate to Gevo’s ownership in ATJ under this expected financing structure which would allow us to conserve and redeploy our capital on other growth projects, including future Alcohol-to-Jet projects. We expect to apply similar development and financing strategies to future Alcohol-to-Jet Projects to enable growth of SAF production to meet demand for SAF.
