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.
