$AMTX EXPECT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS VERY SOON!
Aemetis can start the process now to claim tax credits based on the proposed regulations, without waiting for final guidance. These rules, published February 3, 2026, allow producers to rely on them for 45Z credits if followed fully and consistently. This covers production and sales since January 2025, with retroactive application for emission rates via the Provisional Emissions Rate (PER) process.
The PER process can begin immediately: Aemetis can submit an Emissions Value Request (EVR) to the Department of Energy (DOE) for a specific emissions value (including their -384 CI score), followed by a PER petition to the IRS via Form 7218 with their tax return. A properly filed petition is automatically accepted, and the rate applies back to January 1, 2025.
