Certification journey

We track the progress of a carbon removal project through our certification framework. This roadmap moves from a preliminary assessment of eligibility toward full certification under the Puro Standard.

The facility has successfully completed the preliminary assessment conducted by the Puro team, meeting the minimum criteria for listing as a future supplier on Puro.earth.

The facility has passed the third-party facility audit, verifying compliance with the methodology, as well as output audit, verifying the net volume of removed carbon. The facility has been issued CORCs and continues its removal operations, as well as monitoring and reporting to Puro.earth.

Development status

We monitor a facility’s maturity as it moves toward industrial-scale operations. This status identifies whether a project is in development, under construction, or actively removing carbon from the atmosphere.

The feasibility study is ongoing. The Supplier is still collecting data to prove the concept.

The front-end engineering and design are ready and methodology compliant. There is a clear plan to monitor and measure. The LCA is up to the needed quality level or subject to small improvements. The technology has been used before. There are commercial agreements with the relevant business partners of the facility.

The facility is fully funded and is being implemented. Relevant infrastructure is being built.

The facility is operating as a carbon removal facility.

More about Gevo North Dakota

Gevo North Dakota, which is the new name for the former Red Trail Energy, LLC site in Richardton, North Dakota, is a fully operational project that offers secure geological sequestration, large volumes of high quality available CORCs, guaranteed delivery, and layers of integrity through third-party auditing, Puro’s certification, and digital MRV. Recognizing the need for urgent climate action, the project was placed into service in 2022, making this the first class VI well for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in North Dakota. With an on-site Class VI well, this project has an annual storage capacity of ~180,000 tCO2. In 2025, Gevo acquired the novel project to accelerate the development of sustainable aviation fuel. This fully operational project is on track to deliver more than one million CORCs before the end of 2030.

Beyond carbon, this facility creates jobs, supports more sustainable practices, produces renewable fuel and generates co-products for our food systems. This facility supports approximately 50 direct jobs in Richardton, North Dakota, which strengthens the rural community. CO2 is captured from biogenic fermentation as plant-based alternatives to petroleum products are created. Investment in these CORCs ultimately supports Gevo’s development of sustainable aviation fuel, accelerating U.S. energy security and driving economic growth.
