Worely to Provide Engineering for Aemetis CarbonZero Plant


   
   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) --- Aemetis, Inc. has awarded an engineering services 
contract to Worley for the Aemetis 'Carbon Zero' renewable jet and diesel plant 
in Riverbank, California.

   The project is designed to hydrotreat renewable oils with hydrogen from 
orchard and forest wood waste. By utilizing hydroelectric electricity and 
carbon sequestration along with negative carbon intensity hydrogen, the Aemetis 
plant is expected to produce among the lowest carbon intensity renewable jet 
and diesel fuel in the world.

   "Operations at the Aemetis Carbon Zero plant are scheduled to begin in 2023 
at the rate of 45 million gallons per year, expanding to 90 million gallons by 
early 2025," said Eric McAfee, chairman and CEO of Aemetis. "The Carbon Zero 
project team includes Koch Project Solutions as the EPC, Worley for engineering 
and technical solutions, Axens for process engineering and technology license, 
and ATSI serving as owner's representative, working with our in-house Aemetis 
technology, development, finance, regulatory, and Global Sales and Trading team 
members. The renewable jet and diesel produced at the Riverbank plant will 
supply the aviation and trucking industries with low carbon, low emission, 
renewable fuel."

   Worley is providing engineering to implement the Axens North American 
renewable jet and diesel technology at the site. The Axens technology produces 
renewable jet and renewable diesel in an integrated process.
