Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plan	Employee Benefit PlanThe Company sponsors the Gevo, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan") under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain eligibility requirements, the 401(k) Plan covers substantially all employees beginning the month after employment. Employee contributions are deposited by the Company into the 401(k) Plan and may not exceed the maximum statutory contribution amount. The Company may make matching and/or discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company did not provide an employer match during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Beginning January 1, 2023, the 401(k) Plan was amended to require matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan by the Company on behalf of the participants, with the Company matching 100 percent up to three percent, and an additional 50 percent on up to two percent of an employee's elective contributions, computed on a per pay period basis. The matching contributions will be made in shares of the Company's common stock and vest immediately.
