Earlier, Aemetis signed a supply agreement with a major travel stop chain for 450 million gallons of RD, which will be delivered to Northern California truck fuelling locations. 

SAF and RD will be produced at the Aemetis production plant in Riverbank, California.

The facility is currently in the development phase.

Aemetis founder, chairman and CEO Eric McAfee said: “Sustainable aviation fuel has a vital role in meeting aviation’s decarbonisation targets, so we are pleased to complete another milestone in the drive toward SAF use at a commercial scale.

“The Aemetis plant process design for the Riverbank plant utilises renewable oils, renewable hydrogen and renewable power to produce advanced renewable fuels that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.”
