Aemetis Biogas starts construction at dairy biogas cleanup and compression unit

In California, Aemetis, Inc says that its Aemetis Biogas subsidiary reached a significant milestone by starting construction of the dairy biogas cleanup and compression unit for the Aemetis Biogas Central Dairy Digester Project.  The biogas cleanup unit will produce Renewable Natural Gas that meets utility gas pipeline standards and will be utilized as transportation fuel.

This week, construction crews began site preparation and excavation, after which they will pour the cement foundation and then install and connect process equipment. The biogas cleanup unit will be co-located at the Aemetis advanced ethanol plant in Keyes, California, and will be directly connected to the PG&E natural gas pipeline. The company plans to build 32 additional miles of biogas pipeline that will connect over 30 dairies to the gas cleanup unit and utility pipeline.
