Expert Statements
Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis
“Adding two new dairy biogas digesters represents continued progress on the expansion of dairy RNG production, reusing waste products from California’s large dairy industry and providing a valuable biofuel to replace expensive diesel”
Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis
“We appreciate the strong support of our dairies and construction firms as we continue to build out the network, further increasing revenue in the Aemetis Biogas segment.”
