Aemetis, Inc. (AMTX) reports developments as a diversified renewable natural gas and biofuels company with California Ethanol, California Dairy Renewable Natural Gas, and India Biodiesel operations.
Recurring updates cover earnings, Dairy RNG production from dairy waste gas, LCFS and federal clean fuel tax credits, biodiesel deliveries by Universal Biofuels in India, and efficiency projects at the Keyes ethanol plant. Company news also references its California biogas digester and pipeline network, animal-feed co-products from ethanol production, and development work tied to sustainable aviation fuel and carbon sequestration.
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) announced that California Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB30 on October 3, 2025, immediately allowing E15 (15% ethanol) blending and expanding California's ethanol market by 50% (reported as more than 600 million gallons per year).
A UC Berkeley/Naval Academy study cited in the release estimates $2.7 billion/year in lower pump costs (about $0.20/gal). Aemetis operates a 65 million gallon/year ethanol plant in Keyes, CA. The company plans a $30 million mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) retrofit to cut natural gas use by 80%, increase LCFS revenues and 45Z tax credit income, and is projected to improve Keyes plant cash flow by $32 million/year after MVR implementation in 2026.
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) has signed a significant $30 million EPC contract with NPL Construction Co. to install a Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) system at its Keyes ethanol facility in California. The project, scheduled for completion in Q2 2026, has secured $19.7 million in tax credits and grants.
The MVR system is projected to reduce natural gas usage by 80% at the 65-million-gallon-per-year facility, generating an estimated $32 million in annual cash flow through energy savings, LCFS credits, and Section 45Z tax credits. This upgrade aligns with Aemetis' strategy to expand Dairy Renewable Natural Gas production, with 18 dairies currently operating or under construction.
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) reported Q2 2025 financial results, with revenues increasing to $52.2 million, up $9.3 million from Q1 2025. The growth was driven by California Ethanol, Dairy Renewable Natural Gas operations, and renewed India biodiesel deliveries.
Key highlights include $3.1 million in revenue from 11 dairy digesters, CARB approval for 7 new LCFS pathways, and a $27 million agreement with NPL for H₂S and compression units. The company's operating loss improved by $4.9 million from Q1 2025, while net loss was $23.4 million, better than $29.2 million in Q2 2024.
The India subsidiary appointed a new CFO with IPO experience, targeting a public listing in early 2026. The company expects increased tax credit income and operating cash flow from its California Ethanol segment through a mechanical vapor recompression project.

Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and biofuels company, announced that CEO Eric McAfee will present at the H.C. Wainwright 27th Annual Global Investment Conference in New York City on September 8-10, 2025.
The company highlighted several key projects and regulatory developments, including the implementation of California Low Carbon Fuel Standard amendments providing 20 years of policy support, contracts with over 50 dairies for renewable natural gas production, and the Keyes ethanol plant project expected to generate $32 million in increased annual cash flow starting in 2026. The company also has plans for a 90 million gallon per year renewable diesel plant and a carbon sequestration project to inject 1.4 million tons of CO2 annually.
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) has received California Air Resources Board (CARB) approval for seven dairy digester provisional pathways under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The approved pathways, effective from January 1, 2025, demonstrate an impressive average carbon intensity of -384, ranging from -327 to -419.
The approval is expected to increase LCFS credit generation by approximately 100% for these digesters. With eleven operating digesters and a four-dairy cluster digester under completion, Aemetis anticipates faster approval for additional pathway filings following LCFS regulatory amendments this year.
The company's renewable energy projects include new dairy digesters targeting over 1 million MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas production, and a sustainable aviation fuel plant with 78 million gallon annual capacity.
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.
