Aemetis sells $18 million of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits
In California, Aemetis announced that its ethanol and renewable natural gas subsidiaries have received funds from the sales of $18 million of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits.
The sales include a $6 million tax credit generated by 2025 ethanol production and $12 million in tax credits generated by year-to-date 2026 ethanol and renewable natural gas (RNG) production.
“These 45Z tax credit sales, our second and third transactions in the past six months, illustrate the value of Section 45Z Clean Fuel Production Tax Credits as a recurring contribution to cash flow for Aemetis operations,” said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “Our first sale of 45Z credits was late last year, and we expect additional transactions in 2026 and future years. We expect the 45Z credit value to grow significantly based on planned RNG production volume increases and increased energy efficiency at the Keyes plant from mechanical vapor recompression,” he added.
