In December 2024, Aemetis, Inc.’s biogas subsidiary implemented three new dairy digesters in its California production network . With this expansion, the company increased its operating units from nine to twelve, increasing its renewable natural gas (RNG) production capacity by 80%. This advancement will allow the company to reach a planned production of 550,000 MMBtu per year by 2025.
Increase in renewable natural gas production
According to Eric McAfee, president and CEO of Aemetis, the expansion strengthens the company’s economic growth and reinforces its contribution to the renewable energy market. The expected regulatory approval for seven of the digesters by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will further increase the carbon credits earned by the company.
Aemetis Biogas’ business model is based on four main pillars: sale of Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits in California, sale of D3 RIN under the Federal Renewable Fuels Standard, future IRS Section 45Z tax credits, and direct marketing of RNG. With a network of more than 50 associated dairies and an optimized pipeline system, the company projects a production of 1.6 million MMBtu annually in the medium term.
The initiative is part of a broader plan that includes the development of sustainable aviation fuels and renewable diesel , consolidating Aemetis as a key player in the global energy transition.
