Verity and CIBO Launch End-to-End 45Z Compliance Solution for Biofuel Producers
Gevo’s subsidiary Verity and CIBO Technologies launched a partnership to provide an end-to-end data and verification system enabling biofuel producers to generate audit-ready carbon intensity scores required for Section 45Z tax credits. The collaboration links farm-level practices across millions of acres to fuel production for compliance with low-carbon fuel programs.
1. Partnership Overview
Verity Holdings, a subsidiary of Gevo, and CIBO Technologies have formed a strategic partnership to integrate Verity’s digital measurement, reporting, and verification platform with CIBO’s agricultural data and analytics. The collaboration aims to connect farm-level practices directly to fuel production data in a single end-to-end system.
2. Section 45Z Compliance
The joint solution is designed to generate verified carbon intensity scores and audit-ready documentation required to claim Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credits. Since the 45Z credit scales with demonstrated carbon intensity reductions, the platform ensures producers can trace and validate their emissions metrics for regulatory reporting.
3. Technology and Data Integration
CIBO’s Trusted Advisor Network spans millions of acres, providing field-level data, artificial intelligence analytics, and grower engagement. Verity’s MRV system captures operational fuel production metrics, creating a seamless digital thread from feedstock sourcing to final fuel output.
4. Implications for Biofuel Producers
By offering a credible, compliance-grade system of record, the partnership addresses a critical gap for ethanol and renewable fuel producers seeking to monetize low-carbon fuel credits. The platform supports participation in multiple markets, including U.S. 45Z credits, California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations.
