Aemetis hosts CDFA Secretary Karen Ross at Keyes biofuels facility

Aemetis announced that it hosted California Department of Food and Agriculture, CDFA, Secretary Karen Ross for a discussion and site tours of the company’s renewable biofuel and dairy-based renewable natural gas, RNG, facilities on February 9, 2023. Former CDFA and USDA Secretary Ann Veneman, Stanislaus County Supervisor Vito Chiesa, and other dignitaries joined the tour and discussion of the company’s vision and leadership regarding the creation of a Circular Bioeconomy in California’s Central Valley that couples the production of low or below zero carbon intensity renewable fuels with the region’s abundant agricultural waste and by-products. The visit was organized in conjunction with the Stanislaus 2030 regional economic development initiative and BEAM Circular, a new hub for the circular bioeconomy in the North San Joaquin Valley. "We strongly support the outstanding work that Secretary Ross has done at CDFA to promote agriculture’s central role in addressing global warming, coupled with the advancement of policies and programs that private sector companies such as Aemetis can utilize to meet California’s aggressive decarbonization goals," said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis, Inc.
