EPA Approves Agresti Energy's Renewable Fuel Pathway

After 31 months of analysis, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved Agresti Energy's Pressure Hydrolysis Process for a proprietary Renewable Fuel Pathway, qualifying it to generate D3 cellulosic Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) for the U.S. transportation industry.

Key highlights

• EPA approval received March 15, 2022 after 31 months of evaluation.
• Pathway qualifies the process to generate D3 cellulosic RINs.
• Eligible feedstocks: agricultural digestate, crop residue, yard waste, MSW, wastewater sludge, forestry waste.
• D3 RINs trade at roughly 10× the wholesale price of non-renewable fuel.
• 2022 cellulosic biofuel target: 16 billion gallons. Actual production: ~770 million gallons. The gap is the opportunity.

“Agresti Energy can now efficiently create high value renewable biofuel from organic cellulosic waste streams while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
