Aemetis sees California orchard waste as major feedstock opportunity for its technology

In California, Aemetis believes its biomass-based biofuel technology is key to helping the state’s biomass power industry reinvent itself after more than 70% of plants shut down to their lack of ability to compete economically with solar and wind power that benefit from 30% subsidies. The hundreds of thousands of tons of orchard waste available in the state as well as vineyard waste and forestry could be key feedstocks for using the company’s technology that is being implemented in a project in Keyes.
