Aemetis Biogas Completes Initial Construction Phase of Multi-Dairy Digester
October 03 2024 - 7:15AM
Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable
fuels company focused on low and negative carbon intensity
products, announced today that its Aemetis Biogas subsidiary has
completed initial construction of a multi-dairy anaerobic digester
to process waste from approximately 14,000 dairy cows in Merced
County, California.
The multi-dairy digester is expected to begin operations by
year-end 2024 and produce more than 200,000 MMBtu per year of
renewable natural gas (RNG). The digester is designed to collect
waste from four dairies that are each located within one-half mile
from the multi-dairy digester. The project is connected to the
36-mile Aemetis biogas pipeline.
“Aemetis Biogas is scheduled to significantly increase
production this quarter, including the multi-dairy digester and two
other dairy digesters,” stated Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of
Aemetis. “We are pleased with the rapid acceleration of revenue
growth from new digesters, which generate credits from the Low
Carbon Fuel Standard and from Production Tax Credits under the
Inflation Reduction Act starting in January 2025, supporting our
construction of digesters for additional dairies.”
Currently, Aemetis generates biogas from anaerobic digesters fed
by ten dairies, producing approximately 300,000 MMBtu per year of
RNG. After completion of the multi-dairy digester and two other
digesters, Aemetis will be producing approximately 550,000 MMBtu of
RNG per year from 16 dairies.
Aemetis Biogas has signed agreements with 48 dairies and expects
to add an additional 27 dairies to its biogas portfolio. When fully
operational, the dairies in the Aemetis Biogas Central Dairy
Project are expected to generate more than 1.6 million MMBtu per
year of RNG and annual revenues of $250 million.
