ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov 28, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. /quotes/zigman/3670856/quotes/nls/gevo GEVO +3.22% , a leading renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has agreed to reexamine U.S. Patent No. 7,993,889 ('889 Patent) owned by Butamax(TM) Biofuels LLC (Butamax), determining that substantial questions of patentability exist. In addition to granting the reexamination, the USPTO issued an office action finding that all challenged claims are invalid. The USPTO agreed with Gevo's petition that substantial questions exist regarding whether others invented this technology first and that several scientific journal publications had described the technology before Butamax applied for the patent.

"This USPTO action means that key claims contained in the formerly granted patent are now invalid effective immediately and are subject to a complete inter party examination," said Brett Lund, Gevo Executive Vice President and General Counsel. "The USPTO action raises serious questions regarding the merits of Butamax's claims against Gevo and strengthens our position in the pending infringement lawsuit."

Gevo's patent portfolio consists of over 300 patents and applications for the economic production of isobutanol, process innovations and downstream product applications.

Gevo Challenges Validity of Butamax Patent Over Biofuels

Gevo Inc. said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is reconsidering a patent that the agency issued in August to Butamax Advanced Biofuels LLC for a fuel additive. The PTO upheld another patent as final

In a non-final action dated Nov. 25, the PTO said the patent claims were invalid, according to the agency’s website. Butamax will have a chance to respond to the agency’s findings, and by law the patent remains valid and enforceable during the review process.

Gevo, based in Englewood, Colorado, said in a statement it sought the review, adding that “substantial questions exist regarding whether others invented this technology first and that several scientific journal publications had described the technology before Butamax applied for the patent.”

Butamax, based in Wilmington, Delaware, is a joint venture of BP Plc (BP/) and DuPont Co., according to information on its website and has brought patent litigation against Gevo. CEO Paul Beckwith said, in a statement on its website, that “We are pleased that the U.S. Patent Office found Gevo’s attempts to invalidate our first patent to be without merit and we are confident that our second patent, which is a continuation of the first, will ultimately receive the same revalidation.”

Citigroup (C) Analysts Reiterate a “Buy” Rating on Gevo (GEVO)

Posted by LUSA Staff on Dec 7th, 2011 // No Comments

Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO)‘s stock had its “buy” rating reaffirmed by equities research analysts at Citigroup (NYSE: C) in a research note issued to investors on Wednesday. The analysts currently have a $14.00 price target on the stock.

Gevo, Inc. is a renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of alternatives to petroleum-based products based on isobutanol produced from renewable feedstocks. In order to produce and sell isobutanol made from renewable sources, Gevo, Inc. has developed the Gevo Integrated Fermentation Technology (GIFT), an integrated technology platform for the production and separation of isobutanol. GIFT consists of two components: biocatalysts, which convert sugars derived from multiple renewable feedstocks into isobutanol through fermentation, and a separation unit, which is designed to continuously separate isobutanol from water during the fermentation process. In August 2010, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with Agri-Energy to acquire a 22 million gallons per year (MGPY) ethanol production facility in Luverne, Minnesota.

Quando ci sono i buy mi ritiro :D
Penso di rientrare alla prima occasione... interessante articolo :cool:

This has been a bad year for publicly-traded biofuel makers. The hope and promise that kept such issues buoyant in their post-IPO honeymoon has dissipated into a sentiment of “show me the money”. Essentially shareholders and analysts began to wonder when revenue generation and profits would begin in earnest as the mantra of “be patient; good things around the corner” began to grow old. Let’s be honest, many of these IPO’s were rushed to market when optimism was high and the money from underwriters was easier to raise.
Company Share Price YTD Return Summary
Amyris $10.75 (52%) Highest profile investors and partnerships. High expectations slipping a tad but partner "Total" (TOT) a backstop.
Solazyme $11.91 (50%) Algae based platform is gaining traction. Punches above weight and successful in courting partnerships.
Gevo $6.81 (65%) Just received key patent for isobutanol.
KiOR $17.51 15% Aggressive plant build-out in the works. Largest market cap at $1.7B. Investor pedigree and off-take contracts have kept issue relatively bouyant.
Codexis $5.80 (42%) Recent uptick attributable to traction in Royal Dutch (RDS) and Cosan (CZZ) partnerships.

Companies like Solazyme (SZYM), KiOR (KIOR), GEVO (GEVO), Amyris (AMRS) and Codexis (CDXS) were generally met with favorable terms in the public markets. The Street seemed to acknowledge that for a time, such public enterprises could coast as venture capital darlings with sequential quarters of red ink and cash burn, while a pipeline of off- take agreements and industry partnerships would eventually coalesce into abundant revenues and maybe profits down the road. While some of these agreements have materialized, the shareholders have been subjected to the capricious nature of a market that began to demand performance sooner rather than later. This is completely understandable in the context of the collapse of Solyndra and by extension many segments of the clean tech industry that have failed to meet the sparkly expectations of public and private venture capital investors.

While the underpinnings of a greener future remain intact (high oil prices, public and private institutions thirsting for sustainable energy, etc.) the will of investors to “punt” yet again will not hold out forever. This is especially the case in the context of other areas of the market that show a more transparent (and more rapid) path to profits.

It should be noted that the venerable VC firm Kleiner Perkins, which had funded a vast array of clean tech enterprises has publicly acknowledged that, while it is not abandoning clean tech, it is getting back to its roots by investing more in internet, social media, software and other associated tech offerings- all categories that require significantly less capital than clean tech offerings. Still, while it would be premature to think that VC’s are abandoning ship ($4 Billion was committed to clean tech in the last quarter alone) it is clear that expectations are clearly being recalibrated. Valuations have subsequently dropped as the price of risk is recalculated.

What does this mean for biofuel makers and their investors? Essentially the markets are asking for fewer long term science experiments, greater transparency and ultimately more pragmatic avenues to cash flow. It is fine to announce a bevy of partnerships with the big oil majors and consumer product companies, who clearly want exposure to the potential of cheaper and more sustainably produced compounds. But it is far better to announce real revenue and profits that culminate from such ventures. That eureka moment when products have been successfully created profitably and at scale has been more elusive than expected.

As an aside, it raises the question- why are the markets even underwriting companies that are so far from commercial applications of their science? Clearly venture investors still believe the returns will support the investments, yet shouldn’t this research be the domain of major research universities and government institutions with a huge stake in lower carbon emissions and energy derived from more stable sources? If the U.S. government can subsidize an extremely profitable oil industry to the tune of $41 billion a year (mostly in the form of miscellaneous tax breaks), why can’t we co-opt this credit and instead support those companies whose prospects are promising but may need a bit more time before being asked to manage Wall Street’s expectations on a quarter by quarter basis? Maybe some hybrid approach of public and private partnership would have been a more feasible approach for many of these firms whose success is so critical to a diverse set of constituents. These firms now exist in a sort of a market “purgatory”: Too promising to give up hope and yet here we are and the game is on and the clock keeps ticking.

The Coca-Cola Company and Gevo Partner to Develop and Commercialize 100% Renewable Plastic Bottles

~ Gevo’s technology will help create a viable alternative to fossil-fuel based packaging ~
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), a leading renewable chemicals and advanced
biofuels company, today announced a groundbreaking agreement with The Coca-Cola Company (Coca-Cola) to create
renewable para-xylene from plant based isobutanol, which will accelerate the development of Coca-Cola’s second-generation
PlantBottle™ packaging made from 100% plant-based materials. Gevo will work with Coca-Cola to enable and deliver an
integrated system to produce renewable para-xylene, a key building block towards reaching Coca-Cola’s goal of creating all of
their packaging from renewable materials. The work will take the technology from lab-scale to commercial scale and support
Coca-Cola’s efforts to lead the beverage industry away from fossil-fuel based packaging by offering an alternative made
completely from renewable resources.
“While the technology to make biobased materials in a lab has been available for many years,
we believe Gevo possess technologies that have high potential to create it on a global
commercial level within the next few years,” said Rick Frazier, Vice President Commercial
Product Supply, The Coca-Cola Company. “This is a significant R&D investment in packaging
innovation and is the next step toward our vision of creating all of our PET plastic packaging
from responsibly sourced plant materials.”
Coca-Cola identified Gevo as a leader in the race to commercialize renewable PET following
an exhaustive search and evaluation of technologies from around the world. The global
market for PET is 54 million metric tons and has a value of $100 billion, with approximately
30% used for plastic bottles. In this next generation of PlantBottle™ packaging, Coca-Cola plans to produce bottles entirely
from renewable raw materials.
“We are extremely gratified to have won the confidence of The Coca-Cola Company and are excited to support Coca-Cola’s
sustainable packaging goals with this agreement to develop and commercialize technology to produce para-xylene from
biobased isobutanol,” said Patrick Gruber, CEO of Gevo. “New technologies need champions. The Coca-Cola Company is in a
unique position to drive and influence change in the global packaging supply chain with this development. You cannot ask for a
better champion than one of the world’s most respected and admired consumer brands.”
Isobutanol is a four-carbon fermentation alcohol that can be converted into para-xylene using known chemical processes. Paraxylene
is a key raw material in PET production. Gevo has previously announced supplying Japanese chemical giant Toray with
lab-scale quantities of renewable para-xylene. Toray has successfully converted Gevo’s para-xylene into PET films and fibers.
About Gevo
Gevo is converting existing ethanol plants into biorefineries to make renewable building block products for the chemical and
fuel industries. The Company plans to convert renewable raw materials into isobutanol and renewable hydrocarbons that can
be directly integrated on a “drop in” basis into existing chemical and fuel products to deliver environmental and economic
benefits. Gevo is committed to a sustainable biobased economy that meets society’s needs for plentiful food and clean air and
water. For more information, visit gevo | Home

Non male... :cool:

SUGAR LAND, Texas, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Arabian American Development Co. (Nasdaq: ARSD) today provided a business update on the AMAK (Al Masane Al Kobra) Mining Company activities in Saudi Arabia, as well as, updates on its collaboration with Gevo, Inc., and initiatives to maximize return on investment for its South Hampton Resources subsidiary. This update announced:

Ocean Partners has been appointed as the exclusive sales and marketing agent effective immediately to handle logistics and marketing for AMAK which is 37% owned by Arabian American. Neil S. Seldon & Associates Ltd, will continue to act as marketing advisers to both the Company and AMAK.
Initial concentrate production has begun at the mine and will be sold on a spot basis for the first several months possibly moving toward establishing longer term contracts in the future. Interested parties will be informed once sufficient concentrates are available to fulfill a spot sale.
The start up of AMAK's ore processing mill is underway and has produced approximately 500 metric tons of ore to date. Typical adjustments and modifications are being handled as the need arises. To ensure the contract operator of the facility is aligned with AMAK's sense of urgency in ramping up production, the operations contract has a $3 million bonus arrangement built into it with production goals and ramp up steps clearly identified. The goals call for 50% capacity in 30 days, 75% in 60 days, and 90% in 90 days with four consecutive days at those levels as measuring points.
Construction of the demonstration unit for Gevo, Inc., was completed and startup operations commenced on December 12, 2011. Progress is on track and the Company expects to deliver Gevo's initial targeted volume of bio-based jet fuel by the end of the year. The hydrocarbon processing demonstration plant will provide Gevo with the toll-processing services necessary to process up to 10,000 gallons per month of Gevo's isobutanol into a variety of renewable hydrocarbon materials. These materials include jet fuel, isooctane for gasoline, isooctene and paraxylene for polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This will allow Gevo to supply early adopters with product so they can test material, make samples and start their selling cycle.
The Company has hired Houlihan Lokey as an investment advisor. This engagement is in conjunction with determining optimal ROI and logistics for plant expansion due to the acceleration of capacity utilization of the South Hampton Resources Inc. subsidiary.

Nick Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The Ocean Partners' team has more than 15 years of experience delivering successful trading services to miners, smelters, and refiners. Their expertise includes every aspect of the business garnered from the team's background in mining engineering, geology, metallurgy, and finance. We are pleased that AMAK has chosen to partner with them to manage the marketing and delivery logistics of the output of the mine. We also want to thank Neil S. Seldon and Associates for their continued help in our AMAK venture."

Mr. Carter continued, "On the petrochemical side of our business, the completion and startup of the demonstration plant for Gevo has commenced in a timely manner. We are pleased to provide the toll-processing product for its cutting edge, environment friendly product line that includes renewable building block products for the chemical and fuel industries. We are gaining significant knowledge of the process through this initial endeavor and look forward to working with Gevo and their demonstration plant in the development of new products and markets."

Mr. Carter concluded, "We engaged Houlihan Lokey as an investment advisor due to the success of our growth strategies, both domestic and international, for petrochemical and toll processing products. Our South Hampton facility capacity utilization is being met ahead of expectation so we need to start addressing future demand and expansion of our markets. We believe Houlihan Lokey will be an excellent fit, and we welcome their expertise."
