Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business, Financial Condition and Basis of Presentation | Nature of Business, Financial Condition and Basis of Presentation Nature of business. Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq: GEVO) ("Gevo", "we", "us", "our", or the "Company," which, unless otherwise indicated, refers to Gevo, Inc. and its subsidiaries), a Delaware corporation founded in 2005, is a growth-oriented company with the mission of solving greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions for those sectors of the transportation industry that are not amenable to electrification or hydrogen. The Company is focused on transforming renewable energy into energy-dense liquid drop-in hydrocarbons that can be used as renewable fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF") and other fuels and chemicals, with the potential to achieve a “net-zero” GHG, or even carbon negative footprint measured by the Argonne National Laboratory’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation) model (the "GREET Model") to measure, predict and verify GHG emissions across the life-cycle. Our “net-zero” concept means production of drop-in hydrocarbon fuels by using sustainably grown feedstocks (e.g., low till, no-till and dry corn cultivation), renewable and substantially decarbonized energy sources, resulting in a net-zero carbon footprint from the full life cycle of the fuel measured from the capture of renewable carbon through the burning of the fuel. Gevo's primary market focus, given current demand and growing customer interest, is SAF. The Company believes it also has commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as (i) renewable natural gas, also known as biogas (“RNG”), (ii) hydrocarbons for gasoline blendstocks and diesel fuel, and (iii) plastics, materials and other chemicals. We are engaged in technology, process and intellectual property development targeted to large scale deployment of net-zero hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals. We are developing the marketplace and customers for SAF and other related products. We also are engaged as a developer and enabler/licensor for large scale commercial production, and we expect to be a co-investor on certain projects. Gevo's business model is that of a developer of projects, a licensor, process technology developer, and operator of certain assets in the future. Net-Zero Projects In early 2021, we announced the concept of “Net-Zero Projects” as a series of planned facilities to produce energy dense liquid hydrocarbons using renewable energy and our proprietary technology. The concept of a Net-Zero Project is to convert renewable energy (e.g., photosynthetic, wind, RNG) from a variety of sources into energy dense liquid hydrocarbons that, when burned in traditional engines, has the potential to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the whole lifecycle of the liquid fuel: from the way carbon is captured from the atmosphere, processed to make liquid fuel products, and burnt as a fuel for planes, cars, trucks and ships. As announced in February 2022, and as a result of our agreement and relationship with Axens North America, Inc. (“Axens”), Gevo made the decision to utilize Axens’ ethanol fermentation technology instead of our proprietary isobutanol fermentation technology to produce sustainable aviation fuel and other renewable hydrocarbon products in our Net-Zero Projects. Our initial Net-Zero Project, Net-Zero 1 (“NZ1"), is expected to be located in Lake Preston, South Dakota, and is being currently designed to produce approximately 65 million gallons per year ("MGPY") of total hydrocarbon volumes, including 60 MGPY of SAF. Along with the hydrocarbons, NZ1 is being designed to produce approximately 1,390 million pounds per year of high-value protein products for use in the food chain and more than 34 million pounds per year of corn oil. Our products will be produced in three steps; the first step is milling the corn and the production of protein, oil, and carbohydrates, the second step produces alcohols using fermentation and the third step is the conversion of the alcohols into hydrocarbons. We also are developing other commercial production projects for SAF at other locations in the United States where we expect to use the design of the ethanol-to-jet plant of Lake Preston. Gevo expects to play the role of developer and licensor; and, depending upon circumstances, partial owner of these projects. Renewable Natural Gas Facilities Gevo's RNG facilities in Northwest Iowa ("NW Iowa RNG") are owned by Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC, and produce RNG captured from dairy cow manure. The manure is supplied by three local dairies that have over 20,000 milking cows in total. Animal manure can be digested anaerobically to produce biogas, which is then upgraded to pipeline quality gas referred to as RNG. Gevo NW Iowa RNG, LLC sells the produced RNG to the California market through an agreement with BP Canada Energy Marketing Corp. and BP Products North America Inc. (collectively, "BP"). In addition, NW Iowa RNG generates and sells Low Carbon Fuel Standard ("LCFS") credits as well as D3 Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") through the production of RNG (collectively, "environmental attributes"). Luverne Facility Gevo's development plant in Luverne, Minnesota (the "Luverne Facility") was originally constructed in 1998 and is located on approximately 55 acres of land, which contains approximately 50,000 square feet of building space. Gevo may use the Luverne Facility in the future to prove our processes, process concepts, unit operations and for other purposes in order to optimize feedstocks and the processes used for producing hydrocarbons from alcohols. Currently, the activities at the Luverne Facility are minimized to care and maintenance, as the Company has shifted focus to the Net-Zero Projects. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2023, and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included under the heading “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 . The financial statements at December 31, 2022, have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to our audited financial statements and notes thereto included for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report"). Reclassifications. The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications included the categorization of depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and had no impact on total revenues, total operating expenses, net loss or stockholders' equity for any period. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues from Contracts with Customers and Other Revenues | Revenues from Contracts with Customers and Other RevenuesThe Company’s revenues are primarily comprised of the sale of RNG and related environmental attributes produced at the NW Iowa RNG facility under long-term contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Company transfers the product to its customer. The customer obtains control of the product upon RNG delivery into gas pipeline system, whereas the title and control for the environmental attributes are transferred to the customer subsequent to the issuance of such attributes by the relevant regulatory agency. The Company generally has a single performance obligation in our arrangements with customers. The Company’s performance obligation related to the sales of RNG and related environmental attributes are satisfied at a point in time upon delivery to the customer. The following table displays the Company’s revenue by major source based on product type (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, Major Goods/Service Line 2023 2022 Ethanol sales and related products, net $ — $ 169 Hydrocarbon revenue 397 63 Renewable natural gas commodity 130 — Environmental attribute revenue 3,533 — Total operating revenue $ 4,060 $ 232 Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring its products. There is no variable consideration present in the Company’s performance obligations. Consideration for each transaction is based upon quoted market prices at the time of delivery. The Company recorded limited revenues from its development-scale plant, the Luverne Facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022. These revenues were promotional in nature and from customer contracts for ethanol sales and related products and hydrocarbon revenues, which included SAF, isooctene, and isooctane. These products were sold mostly on a free-on-board shipping point basis (recognized at a point in time), were independent transactions, did not provide post-sale support or promises to deliver future goods, and were single performance obligations. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated based on the assumption that stock options and other dilutive securities outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted, and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. None of the Company's stock options or other dilutive securities are considered to be dilutive in periods with net losses. The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Diluted net loss per share excluded common stock equivalents because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive or would decrease the reported net loss per share. Therefore 58,651 and 72,434 of dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the Company is in a net loss position. See Notes 14 and 18 for all outstanding options and warrants that were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options and warrants exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during the reporting period, and therefore are anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated as follows (net loss in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Net loss $ (17,618) $ (15,673) Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 237,260,681 201,925,747 Net loss per share - basic and diluted $ (0.07) $ (0.08) |

Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Current and non-current restricted cash of $77.8 million consists of amounts held as collateral for letters of credit to provide financing support for development and construction of the NW Iowa RNG and NZ1 projects and interest earned on restricted cash. The Company entered into an irrevocable direct pay letter of credit (the "Bond Letter of Credit") with Citibank N.A ("Citibank") in April 2021 to support the 2021 Bonds (as defined below) for the development and construction of NW Iowa RNG. See Note 13, Debt, for additional information on the 2021 Bonds. The Bond Letter of Credit has a 0.5% annual fee and expires April 4, 2024 (unless terminated earlier). The Company deposited $71.2 million with Citibank as restricted cash to secure any amounts drawn under the Bond Letter of Credit. The Company is entitled to receive interest income on the restricted cash. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts have been drawn under the Bond Letter of Credit. The proceeds from issuance of the 2021 Bonds recorded as restricted cash are maintained by the Trustee (as defined below) under the Indenture (as defined below) and are released to the Company to pay costs of the construction of NW Iowa RNG. The Company has used all bond proceeds for the project as of March 31, 2023. In September 2022, the Company entered into a Pledge and Assignment agreement with Citibank to provide credit support in the form of a letter of credit (the “Power Letter of Credit”) from Citibank to a local electric utility company in order to induce the utility company to design and construct the power transmission and distribution facilities that will serve NZ1.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases, Right-of-Use Assets and Related Liabilities | Leases, Right-of-Use Assets and Related Liabilities The Company is party to an operating lease contract for the Company’s office and research facility in Englewood, Colorado, which expires in January 2029. The lease contains an option to extend the lease which management does not reasonably expect to exercise, so it is not included in the length of the term. The Company also has one production line piece of equipment with an operating lease that expires in 2024. The Company has four finance leases for land under arrangements related to NW Iowa RNG. Under these contracts, the Company leases land from dairy farmers on which it has built three anaerobic digesters, and related equipment and pipelines to condition raw biogas from cow manure provided by the farmers. The partially conditioned biogas is transported from the three digester sites to a central gas upgrade system located at the fourth site that upgrades the biogas to pipeline-quality RNG for sale. These leases expire at various dates between 2031 and 2050 .

The bond proceeds were used as a source of construction financing alongside equity from the Company. The 2021 Bonds were issued under a Trust Indenture dated April 1, 2021 (the "Indenture") between the Authority and Citibank, N.A. as trustee (the "Trustee"). The 2021 Bonds mature April 1, 2042. The bonds bear interest at 1.5% per annum during the Initial Term Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture), payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The effective interest rate is 1.0%. The 2021 Bonds are supported by the $71.2 million Bond Letter of Credit; see Note 5, Restricted Cash. The Trustee can draw sufficient amounts on the Bond Letter of Credit to pay the principal and interest until the first mandatory tender date of April 1, 2024. The 2021 Bonds became callable and re-marketable on October 1, 2022. If the 2021 Bonds have not been called and re-marketed by the first mandatory tender date, the Trustee may draw on the Bond Letter of Credit to repay the 2021 Bonds in their entirety at the purchase price. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts have been drawn under the Bond Letter of Credit. The 2021 Bonds were issued at a premium of $0.8 million and debt issuance costs were $3.0 million. The bond debt is classified as non-current debt and is presented net of the premium and issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the 2021 Bonds using the interest method.

The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company accrues losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is probable. No such losses have been recorded to date. Environmental Liabilities . The Company’s operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws require the Company to investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at its locations. Accordingly, the Company has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, occupational health and the production, handling, storage and use of hazardous materials to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability which could result from such events. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the Company’s liability is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. No environmental liabilities have been recorded as of March 31, 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards define fair value, outline a framework for measuring fair value, and detail the required disclosures about fair value measurements. Under these standards, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. Standards establish a hierarchy in determining the fair market value of an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Standards require the utilization of the highest possible level of input to determine fair value. Level 1 – inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 – inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. The carrying value and fair value, by fair value hierarchy, of the Company's financial instruments at March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2023 Fair Value at March 31, 2023 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 342,283 $ 342,283 $ — $ — Marketable securities $ 32,897 $ 32,897 $ — $ — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Fair Value at December 31, 2022 Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 237,125 $ 237,125 $ — $ — $ — Marketable securities $ 167,408 $ 167,408 $ — $ — (1) Cash and cash equivalents includes $317.3 million and $200.7 million invested in J.P Morgan U.S. government money market funds as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company had no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels between December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023. For the 2021 Bonds, the fair values are estimated using the Black-Derman-Toy interest rate lattice framework. The effective maturity of the 2021 Bonds was assumed to be April 1, 2024 (three years from issuance) with repayment of 100% of principal on that date. The impact of the Company's optional redemption feature, effective October 1, 2022, is appropriately captured by the Black-Derman-Toy interest rate lattice. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the 2021 Bonds as of March 31, 2023, are summarized as follows (in thousands): Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value 2021 Bonds $ 67,408 $ 65,334 |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Stockholders' Equity Share Issuances In February 2018, the Company commenced an at-the-market offering program, which allows it to sell and issue shares of its common stock from time to time. In 2021, the at-the-market offering program was amended to provide a total capacity of $500.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has remaining capacity to issue up to approximately $360.6 million of common stock under the at-the-market offering program. On June 8, 2022, the Company completed a registered direct offering ("the June 2022 Offering") of an aggregate of 33,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.50 per share, accompanied by Series 2022-A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 33,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock (each, a “Series 2022-A Warrant”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors. The Series 2022-A Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $4.37 per share. As of March 31, 2023, none of the Series 2022-A Warrants had been exercised. The net proceeds to the Company from the June 2022 Offering were $139.2 million, after deducting placement agent's fees, advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, and assuming none of the Series 2022-A Warrants issued in the June 2022 Offering are exercised for cash. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the June 2022 Offering to fund capital projects, working capital and for general corporate purposes . Warrants In addition to the Series 2022-A Warrants, the Company has warrants outstanding that were issued in conjunction with a registered direct offering in August 2020 (the “Series 2020-A Warrants”). The Company evaluated the Series 2022-A Warrants and Series 2020-A Warrants for liability or equity classification and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because both the Series 2022-A Warrants and Series 2020-A Warrants do not meet the definition of liability instruments. The Series 2022-A Warrants and Series 2020-A Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Series 2022-A Warrants and Series 2020-A Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Series 2022-A Warrants and Series 2020-A Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value at the issuance date of the Series 2022-A Warrants was $92.9 million with the key inputs to the valuation model including a weighted average volatility of 151.1%, a risk-free rate of 2.86% and an expected term of five years. The fair value at the issuance date of the Series 2020-A Warrants was $8.3 million with the key inputs to the valuation model including a weighted average volatility of 130%, a risk-free rate of 0.30% and an expected term of five years. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. On February 17, 2022, the remaining Series K warrants expired with 7,126 unexercised warrants.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments | Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, management has determined that the Company has organized its operations and activities into three reportable segments: (i) Gevo segment; (ii) Agri-Energy segment; and (iii) Renewable Natural Gas seg ment. T ransactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. Gevo segment . The Gevo segment is responsible for all research and development activities related to transforming renewable energy into energy-dense liquid hydrocarbons that can be used as renewable fuels, such as SAF, with the potential to achieve a “net-zero” greenhouse gas ("GHG") footprint; commercial opportunities for other renewable hydrocarbon products, such as hydrocarbons for gasoline blendstocks and diesel fuel; ingredients for the chemical industry, such as ethylene and butenes; plastics and materials; and other chemicals. The Gevo segment also develops, maintains and protects its intellectual property portfolio, provides corporate oversight services, and is responsible for development and construction of our Net-Zero Projects. Agri-Energy segment . The Agri-Energy segment is currently responsible for the operation of the Company’s Luverne Facility and the development and optimization of the pro duction of isobutanol, ethanol and related products. Renewable Natural Gas segment . The Renewable Natural Gas segment produces pipeline quality methane gas captured from dairy cow manure. Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Gevo Agri-Energy Renewable Natural Gas Consolidated Revenues $ 397 $ — $ 3,663 $ 4,060 Loss from Operations $ (15,499) $ (3,147) $ (2,211) $ (20,857) Acquisitions of patents, plant, property and equipment $ 9,977 $ — $ 1,457 $ 11,434 Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Gevo Agri-Energy Renewable Natural Gas Consolidated Revenues $ 63 $ 169 $ — $ 232 Loss from Operations $ (12,124) $ (3,808) $ (23) $ (15,955) Acquisitions of patents, plant, property and equipment $ 4,438 $ 3,947 $ 10,393 $ 18,778 March 31, 2023 Gevo Agri-Energy Renewable Natural Gas Consolidated Total assets $ 560,914 $ 32,109 $ 95,671 $ 688,694 December 31, 2022 Gevo Agri-Energy Renewable Natural Gas Consolidated Total assets $ 573,057 $ 34,440 $ 93,251 $ 700,748 |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events Recent Agreements. On May 5, 2023, Gevo entered into a Side Agreement (the "Side Agreement") with Axens, which modifies the exclusivity provisions contained in the Company's existing agreement with Axens, permitting Axens to provide certain services and grant certain licenses relating to the conversion of ethanol to hydrocarbons fuels via dehydration, oligomerization, and saturation in certain areas of the Midwest to Phillips 66 Company (“P66”), Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (“ADM” and together with P66, the "Potential Partners"), or a joint venture entity between ADM and P66 (the "JV"). In connection with the Side Agreement, and as consideration for Gevo to share Axens’ technology with P66 and ADM, Gevo, P66 and ADM entered into a Technology Access Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2023 (the “TAA”). As consideration for Gevo entering into the TAA and the Side Agreement, the Potential Partners shall cause the applicable JV to pay Gevo certain milestone payments in connection with the development and production of the hydrocarbon fuels, expected to equal to $50 million if all milestones are achieved. Additionally, the Potential Partners will cause the applicable JV to make royalty payments to Gevo on such renewable hydrocarbons produced during a certain period (subject to a cap) and described in the TAA. The royalty payments are expected to equal at least $75 million if certain conditions and production milestones are achieved. LG Chem Agreement . In April 2023, Gevo entered into a joint development agreement with LG Chem, Ltd. ("LG Chem") to develop bio-propylene for renewable chemicals using Gevo’s Ethanol-to-Olefins ("ETO") technology. Under the terms of the agreement, Gevo will provide the core enabling technology it has developed for renewable olefins to be produced from low-carbon ethanol and together the parties will collaborate to accelerate the pilot research, technical scale-up, and commercialization of bio-propylene. LG Chem is expected to bear all scale-up costs for chemicals, in addition to remitting certain payments to Gevo of $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, and $1.2 million over the next two years to help defray a portion of the costs associated with the joint development efforts. |
