Aemetis Biogas Signs $27 Million Agreement with Centuri to Build Gas Cleanup Systems for 15 Dairy Digesters
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) has announced a significant $27 million equipment agreement with Centuri Holdings (NYSE: CTRI) for building biogas cleanup systems across 15 dairy digesters. The agreement supports Aemetis Biogas's expansion plans for 50 dairy digesters already under contract. Currently, 16 dairies are scheduled to operate this summer in the Aemetis Biogas Central Digester Project near Modesto, California, featuring 36 miles of biogas pipeline and an operational central biogas-to-RNG facility.
The partnership with Centuri, a $2.6 billion infrastructure services contractor, extends beyond equipment supply to include construction management and pipe assembly for future energy efficiency and carbon sequestration projects. Aemetis's renewable energy portfolio includes plans to generate over 1 million MMBtu of renewable natural gas from 50 dairies, a mechanical vapor recompression system expected to generate $32 million in annual cash flow by 2026, and a carbon sequestration project to inject 1.4 million tons of CO2 annually.
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) ha annunciato un importante accordo da 27 milioni di dollari con Centuri Holdings (NYSE: CTRI) per la fornitura di attrezzature destinate alla costruzione di sistemi di purificazione del biogas in 15 digestori per aziende lattiero-casearie.

Insights
Aemetis' $27M agreement with Centuri accelerates their dairy RNG production capacity, strengthening revenue potential and environmental impact.
The $27 million agreement between Aemetis Biogas and Centuri Holdings represents a significant operational milestone in Aemetis' dairy renewable natural gas (RNG) strategy. This deal specifically funds biogas cleanup systems for 15 dairy digesters, accelerating Aemetis' ability to scale its existing portfolio of 50 signed dairy agreements.
The timing is particularly notable as Aemetis already has 16 dairies scheduled to be operational this summer, along with 36 miles of biogas pipeline and a central processing facility already delivering RNG to the PG&E pipeline. This infrastructure foundation provides immediate revenue-generating capacity while the new systems come online.
Beyond the immediate equipment agreement, the strategic relationship with Centuri (a $2.6 billion infrastructure contractor) suggests a significant expansion potential. Centuri's expertise in industrial facilities, gas pipelines, and utility electrical systems positions Aemetis to execute multiple complex projects simultaneously, potentially accelerating their development timeline across various renewable energy initiatives.
The broader context reveals Aemetis' diversified renewable energy portfolio, which includes plans to generate over 1 million MMBtu of RNG from the 50 dairy agreements, a mechanical vapor recompression system expected to generate $32 million in annual cash flow starting in 2026, a carbon sequestration project to inject 1.4 million tons of CO2 annually, and a 78 million gallon/year sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel plant that has already secured key permits.
This agreement demonstrates Aemetis' ability to secure strategic partnerships necessary to scale their multi-faceted renewable fuel operations, potentially accelerating the timeline from signed dairy agreements to revenue-generating RNG production.
