This news release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding assumptions, projections, expectations, targets, intentions or beliefs about future events or other statements that are not historical facts. For additional information about Aemetis, please visit Safe Harbor Statement Aemetis holds a portfolio of patents and exclusive technology licenses to produce renewable fuels and biochemicals. Aemetis is developing the Carbon Zero sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel fuel biorefineries in California to utilize distillers corn oil and other renewable oils to produce low carbon intensity renewable jet and diesel fuel using cellulosic hydrogen from waste orchard and forest wood, while pre-extracting cellulosic sugars from the waste wood to be processed into high value cellulosic ethanol at the Keyes plant. Aemetis also owns and operates a 50 million gallon per year production facility on the East Coast of India producing high quality distilled biodiesel and refined glycerin for customers in India and Europe. Aemetis owns and operates a 65 million gallon per year ethanol production facility in California’s Central Valley near Modesto that supplies about 80 dairies with animal feed.
Founded in 2006, Aemetis has completed Phase 1 and is expanding a California biogas digester network and pipeline system to convert dairy waste gas into Renewable Natural Gas. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, Aemetis is a renewable natural gas, renewable fuel and biochemicals company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative technologies that replace petroleum-based products and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Aemetis low-carbon fuels have substantially reduced carbon intensity compared to standard petroleum fossil-based fuels across their lifecycle. Aemetis has launched the Carbon Zero production process to decarbonize the transportation sector using today’s infrastructure.Īemetis Carbon Zero products include zero carbon fuels that can “drop in” to be used in airplane, truck, and ship fleets. “The Aemetis plant process design for the Riverbank plant utilizes renewable oils, renewable hydrogen and renewable power to produce advanced renewable fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.”Īemetis has a mission to transform renewable energy with below zero carbon intensity transportation fuels. “Sustainable aviation fuel has a vital role in meeting aviation’s decarbonization targets, so we are pleased to complete another milestone in the drive toward SAF use at commercial scale,” said Eric McAfee, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. Offtake agreements – as well as targeted investments and government support mechanisms – will enable the airline and trucking industry transitions towards low carbon, low emission, renewable fuels. SAF is a vital solution in the decarbonization of aviation in the near and medium-term, particularly for longer-haul flights. Sustainable aviation fuel has a significant environmental advantage over traditional jet fuel, with up to a 100% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a lifecycle basis when utilizing low carbon energy and feedstocks along with carbon sequestration. The facility is designed to use renewable hydrogen and zero carbon intensity hydroelectric electricity to hydrotreat sustainable renewable oils to produce SAF and RD. The sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel will be produced at the Aemetis production plant currently under development in Riverbank, California. The SAF is scheduled to be delivered to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as blended fuel, and the RD is expected to be delivered to Northern California truck fueling locations.
The blended SAF is 40% “neat” sustainable aviation fuel and 60% petroleum jet fuel to meet international blended sustainable aviation fuel standards. Airline customers include Delta Air Lines, Jet Blue Airlines and oneworld Alliance members American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines and Qantas. The airline supply agreements provide for the delivery of SAF over a seven-to-ten year time period. The combined value of the 10 airline contracts, including incentives, is approximately $3.8 billion. Previously, Aemetis announced a contract with a major travel stop chain for 450 million gallons of renewable diesel.
(NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable fuels company focused on negative carbon intensity products, announced today that $7 billion of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (RD) supply agreements have been signed with 10 airlines for a total of 916 million gallons of blended SAF, including a contract with an airline that was signed by Aemetis today.
