| Technology Brief |
Aemetis is developing “Carbon Zero” biofuel production plants to produce biofuels such as renewable jet and diesel fuel utilizing cellulosic hydrogen and non-edible renewable oils sourced from existing Aemetis biofuel plants and other sources.
The first plant in Riverbank, California, “Carbon Zero 1”, is expected to use hydroelectric and other renewable power available onsite to produce 90 million gallons per year of jet fuel, renewable diesel, and other byproducts. The plant is expected to supply the aviation and truck markets with ultra-low carbon renewable fuels to reduce greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and other pollutants associated with conventional petroleum-based fuels.
We have signed agreements with local orchards to secure 130,000 tons of wood waste per year. We expect construction to begin in late 2023, with the production of 90-MGY by 2025.
