Aemetis Biogas Monthly RNG Production Increased by 55% in March
Aemetis, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMTX), a renewable natural gas and renewable fuels company focused on low and negative carbon intensity renewable fuels, announced today that its production of renewable natural gas (RNG) increased 55% in March compared to February. RNG production from anaerobic dairy digesters increases during periods of warmer weather due to improved temperatures for microbial activity that converts organic material into biomethane and the higher production quantity is expected to continue through the summer.
Aemetis Biogas also completed a sale of LCFS and D3 RINs at the end of Q1. The LCFS credits were generated from RNG dispensed as transportation fuel in Q4 2024 and were booked under the California Air Resource Board (CARB) reporting process at the end of the first quarter this year. The D3 RINs were from production and dispensing of RNG in February 2025.

Trump Tariffs May Redraw Biofuel Trade, US Policy in Focus
A US minimum universal tariff of 10% on all goods imported into the US could reshape the world's trade flow of biofuels with traders expecting Europe may face more imports or Asian feedstocks would stay in local markets.
US President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday a blanket minimum 10% tariff on all goods imported to the US, with some nations facing significantly higher tariffs.
Considerations for Siting Efficient and Effective Anaerobic Digestion Systems
There has been a marked uptick in interest in establishing anaerobic digesters at sites with a steady supply of organic materials, including farms with abundant animal manure and crop residues, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), food production facilities, and landfills. Stand-alone digesters constructed to accept organics from multiple businesses are also being considered. Existing facilities would do well to consider how they can manage organics, so it is diverted from landfills and properly reused. Operators could bring waste in as part of an existing facility and not lose the tonnage that would otherwise be lost if food waste was diverted. Read on for an overview of key site considerations for siting anaerobic digestion facilities, from federal guidelines, state regulations, and permitting, to feedstock analysis, site design and layout, costs and revenue, water requirements, and digestate disposal.
