Aemetis Inc Company Profile

We own and operate a 60 million gallon per year ethanol production facility located in Keyes, California (the Keyes plant). The facility produces its own combined heat and power (CHP) through the use of a natural gas-powered steam turbine and reuses 100% of its process water with zero water discharge. In addition to ethanol, the Keyes plant produces Wet Distillers Grains (WDG), Distillers Corn Oil (DCO), and Condensed Distillers Solubles (CDS), all of which are sold to local dairies and feedlots as animal feed. The primary feedstock for the production of low carbon fuel ethanol at the Keyes facility is Number Two yellow dent corn. The corn is procured from various Midwestern grain facilities and shipped, via Union Pacific Rail Road, to an unloading facility adjacent to the plant.

We also lease a site near the Keyes plant where we plan to utilize waste-to-fuel technology that we have licensed from LanzaTech (the LanzaTech Technology) to build a cellulosic ethanol production facility (the Keyes Cellulosic Ethanol Facility) capable of converting local California biomass waste – including agricultural waste, forest waste, dairy waste, and construction and demolition waste – to ultra-low carbon cellulosic ethanol. The Keyes Cellulosic Ethanol Facility plans to utilize the distillation and logistics infrastructure at our Keyes plant. By producing low carbon intensity cellulosic fuel ethanol, we expect to capture higher value D3 cellulosic renewable identification numbers and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) carbon credits.


We also own and operate a biodiesel production facility in Kakinada, India (the Kakinada plant) with a nameplate capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year, which is equal to about 50 million gallons per year. We believe this facility is one of the largest biodiesel production facilities in India on a nameplate capacity basis. Our objective is to continue to capitalize on the substantial growth potential of the industry in India and address established markets in the European Union and United States of America.
