In India, Investing.com reported Aemetis has announced the reboot of its biodiesel and refined glycerin production at its Indian subsidiary, Universal Biofuels.
The local Pollution Control Board gave the green light for operations to restart after a pause for maintenance and a review of air quality standards.
Universal Biofuels, which boasts an 80 million gallon per year capacity plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, has been a significant player in India’s biodiesel industry for over 17 years, according to the report.
Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis, confirmed that the temporary shutdown did not impact the company’s ability to meet delivery commitments, thanks to sufficient inventory produced prior to the halt. He also highlighted the expansion of the plant’s capacity to 80 million gallons per year, which aligns with India’s growing demand for biodiesel, the report added.
