13. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated $15.0 million in CFPCs as intangible assets, related to the production and sale of low-carbon transportation fuels under Section 45Z of the Internal Revenue Code. See Note 4, Tax Credit Recognition and Sales. Other identifiable intangible assets consist of developed technology, customer-related intangible assets, trade name and acquired patents, which management evaluates to determine whether they (i) support current products, (ii) support planned research and development, or (iii) prevent others from competing with Gevo’s products, and identifiable intangible assets.

Goodwill
During 2025, goodwill increased by $39.8 million, primarily as a result of the acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Red Trail Energy. The increase reflects the difference between the fair value of the net assets purchased from Red Trail Energy, including intangible assets, and the purchase price, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies from integrating operations, as well as other factors that are not individually identifiable or separately recognized.
