Aemetis contracts CTCI America to build its Carbon Zero plant

In California, Aemetis, Inc. entered into an agreement with engineering and construction firm CTCI America to conduct permitting and engineering work for the Carbon Zero renewable jet/diesel plant to be built in Riverbank, California.  CTCI America is a subsidiary of CTCI Corp., a $2 billion revenues Engineering, Procurement and Construction firm with extensive high technology and energy industry project engineering and construction experience.

The Aemetis Carbon Zero plant is being developed at a former U.S. Army ammunition production facility. The process design uses waste wood to produce cellulosic hydrogen with a below zero carbon intensity, which is combined with renewable oils and zero carbon intensity hydroelectric electricity to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel. The plant will have an initial capacity of 45 million gallons per year, with engineering and other development work underway for expansion to 90 million gallons per year.
