Aemetis begins CO2 deliveries to co-located Messer

In California, Aemetis has begun deliveries under a long-term agreement with Messer to supply carbon dioxide (CO2) to a newly-constructed, state-of-the-art CO2 plant located adjacent to the Aemetis ethanol plant.

This week, the Aemetis 65 million gallon per year ethanol plant began supplying CO2 to Messer for processing into liquid CO2 – a key product in the food freezing and chilling, carbonated beverage, and electronics sectors.  Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the supply of liquid CO2 has been significantly disrupted in California and throughout the United States as ethanol production plants have decreased production rates.  The Messer plant will serve existing and new customers in Northern California and surrounding states via truck and rail.
