Gevo's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, Gevo, headquartered in the US, reported carbon emissions of approximately 3,161,000 kg CO2e, specifically from Scope 2 emissions. The company has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 3 emissions data. Currently, Gevo does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of formal reduction initiatives suggests that while Gevo is engaged in sustainability efforts, specific measurable targets have not been established or communicated. As a player in the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector, Gevo's focus on reducing carbon intensity is evident, with a reported carbon intensity of 0.04 gCO2e/MJ for SAF. However, without comprehensive emissions data or reduction commitments, the company's overall climate strategy remains unclear.
