ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), a leader in next-generation renewable fuels, is delivering sustainable fuels to some of the fastest motorsports. Gevo recently reported approximately $5 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, from producing and selling its patented, proprietary specialty racing fuel blendstock, which meets the increasing demand for low-carbon advanced renewable fuels.
As the 2026 racing season begins, global motorsports are continuing their rapid adoption of sustainable fuels. The 2026 season of Formula One launched with cars running on 100% advanced sustainable fuel, while MotoGP continues its transition toward 100% non-fossil fuel by 2027. IndyCar is also continuing its commitment to renewable fuels, and NASCAR recently announced the use of zero-carbon bioethanol as a blending component.
"Motorsports push fuels to their limits, demanding exceptional performance under extreme conditions," said Paul Bloom, president of Gevo. "At Gevo, we are delivering renewable fuel solutions that meet our customers' needs for performance and sustainability."
The rapid adoption of sustainable fuels in motorsports reflects a broader shift across global fuel markets toward lower-carbon solutions that do not compromise performance. We believe the specialty fuel market could exceed several billion dollars per year, which includes naphtha blending, aviation, performance automotive, and marine fuels.
Gevo's racing fuel capabilities build on its proprietary renewable fuel technology, which converts renewable feedstocks into high-octane hydrocarbon blendstocks designed for demanding engine applications. Gevo develops drop-in fuel solutions that serve motorsports today while supporting broader markets such as sustainable aviation fuel, marine fuels, and low-carbon gasoline components.
