Aemetis Attains EPA Approval to Generate D5 Advanced-Biofuel RINs

摘要

Cupertino, Calif.-based Aemetis Inc. announced September 3 that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted the company approval to produce ethanol derived from grain sorghum and biogas with the plant’s existing combined heat and power (CHP) system to generate higher-value D5 advanced-biofuel Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs). The EPA approval also includes D5 RIN generation for separated food waste feedstock used at Aemetis’ ethanol production plant located in Keyes, Calif., allowing Aemetis to qualify its ethanol as advanced-biofuels through the processing of certain food/beverage waste streams into ethanol, according to a statement issued by Aemetis.
