Gevo Inc., a U.S. biofuel producer backed by French oil company Total SA and specialty-chemicals maker Lanxess AG, received a patent for mechanical systems it struggled to implement at its Minnesota factory.
The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office recognized Gevo’s proprietary “platform-separation unit,” which lowers the cost of producing isobutanol, the Englewood, Colorado-based company said today in a statement.
