Gevo hires Kimberly Bowron as Chief Human Resources Officer

 

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), is pleased to announce that Kimberly Bowron has joined Gevo as its Chief Human Resources Officer. Ms. Bowron has served over 20 years in senior management roles in the chemicals, utilities infrastructure, and IT industries. Most recently, Ms. Bowron was the Director of Human Resources at TPC Group and previously the VP of Human Resources at Heath Consultants, where she led all aspects of human resources and training.

“I’m delighted to have Kimberly join the Gevo team. Her diverse background certainly fits into what Gevo needs to continue to build an engaged, inclusive, and high-performing team for our Net-Zero Projects and beyond. Talent and skill acquisition are certainly one of the keys to success. We are going to grow. Kimberly will help us be successful in that growth,” said Dr. Patrick R. Gruber, Gevo’s Chief Executive Officer.

“I am honored to become part of the team behind the groundbreaking work to transform renewable energy into hydrocarbons,” said Ms. Bowron. â€śI’m excited to help build the talent, leadership, and culture needed for our next phase of growth,” continued Ms. Bowron.

About Gevo

Gevo’s mission is to transform renewable energy and carbon into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons. These liquid hydrocarbons can be used for drop-in transportation fuels such as gasoline, jet fuel and diesel fuel, that when burned have potential to yield net-zero greenhouse gas emissions when measured across the full life cycle of the products. Gevo uses low-carbon renewable resource-based carbohydrates as raw materials, and is in an advanced state of developing renewable electricity and renewable natural gas for use in production processes, resulting in low-carbon fuels with substantially reduced carbon intensity (the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their life cycle). Gevo’s products perform as well or better than traditional fossil-based fuels in infrastructure and engines, but with substantially reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to addressing the problems of fuels, Gevo’s technology also enables certain plastics, such as polyester, to be made with more sustainable ingredients. Gevo’s ability to penetrate the growing low-carbon fuels market depends on the price of oil and the value of abating carbon emissions that would otherwise increase greenhouse gas emissions. Gevo believes that its proven, patented technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks to produce price-competitive low-carbon products such as gasoline components, jet fuel and diesel fuel yields the potential to generate project and corporate returns that justify the build-out of a multi-billion-dollar business.

Gevo believes that the Argonne National Laboratory GREET model is the best available standard of scientific-based measurement for life cycle inventory or LCI.
