However, in contrast to other processes which partially condense the volatile gases to form pyrolysis oil, in the Altex system, the volatile gases are fed directly to a second non-catalytic reactor. This reactor converts a portion of the volatile gases into a mixture of light olefins, predominantly ethylene and propylene.

Two first two synthetic fuel pathways approved by ASTM are gas-to-liquids and hydroprocessed oils. Gruber notes that Gevo could deploy pretty quickly because it takes a retrofit approach, converting ethanol plants (with a current global capacity of some 20 billion gallons) to work with Gevo’s microorganisms to produce isobutanol.
