Aemetis Stock Price, News & Analysis

Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX) has announced the completion of initial construction for a multi-dairy anaerobic digester in Merced County, California. This digester, designed to process waste from approximately 14,000 dairy cows across four nearby dairies, is expected to begin operations by year-end 2024. It's projected to produce over 200,000 MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas (RNG).

The project is connected to Aemetis' 36-mile biogas pipeline. Currently, Aemetis generates biogas from ten dairies, producing about 300,000 MMBtu per year of RNG. With the completion of this multi-dairy digester and two others, production is expected to increase to approximately 550,000 MMBtu of RNG per year from 16 dairies.

Aemetis Biogas has agreements with 48 dairies and plans to add 27 more. When fully operational, the Aemetis Biogas Central Dairy Project is anticipated to generate over 1.6 million MMBtu per year of RNG and annual revenues of $250 million.

Aemetis, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMTX) is urging the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to implement a 15% ethanol blend in gasoline to reduce prices and greenhouse gas emissions. California is the only state not adopting E-15, which was approved by the EPA in 2011. A study by UC Berkeley and US Naval Academy economists suggests E-15 could save California drivers $2.7 billion annually, or about $0.20 per gallon.

Adopting E-15 would have immediate environmental benefits, as ethanol emits 46% fewer air pollutants than gasoline. It supports California's climate action plans, including reducing fossil fuel dependence and promoting renewable energy. CARB can adopt new rules to allow E-15 sales in California as soon as 2025.
