Big Gainer; BioFuel Energy Corp. (BIOF)

Shares of BioFuel Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: BIOF), producer and seller of ethanol and its co-products, saw a huge rally in trading today.

BIOF shares ended the day 40.63% higher at $3.15 on above average volume of 378,339. The stock touched an intra-day high of $3.85 today.

BioFuel Energy last month announced collaboration with Gevo Inc. to pursue large-scale isobutanol production. Gevo and BIOF have already signed a development agreement earlier this year. The two companies plan to continue working to develop large-scale production of isobutanol at an existing or future BioFuel plant.

Scott Pearce, CEO of BioFuel, last month said that BIOF’s philosophy has always been to actively explore emerging biofuel technologies, particularly those with the potential to transform the industry. Pearce said that BIOF believes that collaborating with Gevo makes a lot of sense as a potential avenue to becoming a leader in second-generation biofuels.
