Aemetis Biogas Monthly RNG Production Increased by 55% in March
Aemetis (NASDAQ: AMTX) reported a significant 55% increase in renewable natural gas (RNG) production in March compared to February, attributed to warmer weather improving microbial activity. The company completed sales of LCFS credits and D3 RINs at Q1's end.
The company is finalizing LCFS pathway approvals for seven dairy digesters by CARB, expected by Q2 end, potentially generating $6 million yearly in increased revenues. Additionally, CARB's November 2024 LCFS amendments could increase LCFS credit prices, potentially generating up to 300% more total LCFS revenue per MMBtu of RNG.
Aemetis is constructing digesters for four additional dairies, expected to be operational in the coming months. The company's Central Dairy Digester Project, involving 50 dairies near Modesto, California, is projected to generate 1.65 million MMBtu of dairy RNG annually when completed.

Insights
Aemetis reported a 55% month-over-month increase in renewable natural gas production for March, representing significant operational momentum for its biogas business. While this growth is partly seasonal due to warmer temperatures improving microbial activity, the magnitude suggests strong execution of their 2025 production plan.
The company also completed critical end-of-quarter sales of Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits and D3 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), which directly translate to revenue. This demonstrates their ability to monetize production effectively through multiple value streams, including the newly mentioned Section 45Z sellable tax credits.
Near-term catalysts include:
- Four additional dairy digesters nearing operational status in the coming months
- Final LCFS pathway approvals for seven dairy digesters expected by Q2-end, projected to generate
$6 million in additional annual revenue - Pending CARB regulatory amendments that could potentially increase LCFS revenue by up to
300% per MMBtu
The scope of Aemetis' Central Dairy Digester Project is substantial, with agreements covering 50 dairies and a projected annual production capacity of 1.65 million MMBtu.
