DETAILS

GEVO announced today that

ASTM International has now completed

its process of approving

the revision of ASTM D7566

(Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel

 Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons)

to include alcohol to jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene

(ATJ-SPK) derived from renewable isobutanol. 

As previously announced on March 28, 2016,

the proposed revision passed on the committee ballots,

but ASTM still needed to complete the Society Review,

perform a final ballot tally,

and publish the new specification.

The ASTM process is now completed in all respects.

As a result, ASTM International has published

the revision of ASTM D7566 (Standard Specification

for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing

Synthesized Hydrocarbons)

on its website
(http://www.astm.org/Standards/D7566.htm)

and Gevo’s renewable alcohol to jet fuel (“ATJ”)

is now eligible to be used

as a blending component in standard Jet A-1

for commercial airline use

in the United States and

in many other countries around the globe. 

Gevo’s ATJ is eligible to be used

for up to a 30% blend in conventional jet fuel

for commercial flights.
