Aemetis, Inc. products

We produce a low-carbon ethanol fuel alternative from corn and biomass. Our low-carbon ethanol is a clean-burning, high octane, renewable fuel produced from abundant agricultural and cellulosic feedstocks. Ethanol is used as an effective octane-boosting fuel additive or high-blend fuel. Ethanol is the only low-carbon alternative to gasoline available today. All comparisons to gasoline demonstrate a clear reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with ethanol. Aemetis produces approximately 62 million gallons per year of this renewable clean-burning transportation fuel at its Keyes, California production facility.

Carbon capture and sequestration is the process of collecting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or industrial sources and returning it to underground geological formations. California’s Central Valley has been identified by the Stanford University Center for Carbon Storage1 as an ideal location for subsurface carbon storage. The area has multiple alternating layers of shale and sands. The shale creates an impermeable seal over sand layers into which CO2 can be injected. The two Aemetis’ facilities in California will be located over rock layers that are approximately 7,000 feet and 8,000 feet underground. Between the rock layers is a saline water formation which allows for the injection of approximately one million metric tons per year at each location for the next 20 years. The gas will naturally convert to mineral form for safe, permanent storage.
