Sustainable Aviation Fuel Sale Agreement

 

On September 23, 2021, Aemetis Advanced Products Riverbank, Inc. (“Aemetis Riverbank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aemetis, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Sustainable Aviation Fuel Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, Aemetis Riverbank will supply, and Delta will purchase, approximately 25 million gallons of blended petroleum Jet A aviation fuel (“Petroleum Jet Fuel”) and sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF,” and as blended, the “Product”) each year for delivery during the 10-year period commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2033. Following the expiration of the initial term, the Agreement shall automatically renew on the same terms and conditions for additional one-year terms, subject to written notice of non-renewal by either party at least six months prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term.

  

Pursuant to the Agreement, Delta will sell to Aemetis Riverbank 15 million gallons of Petroleum Jet Fuel per year, which Aemetis Riverbank will blend with 10 million gallons of SAF to create the Product. The Product will then be sold by Aemetis Riverbank and delivered to Delta at a price reflecting the SAF premium as agreed to by the parties, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, the parties will allocate the aviation specific emissions credits generated in connection with the SAF, subject to certain conditions.

 

The Agreement also contains provisions regarding the product specifications and quality standards for the Products, the rights of a party in the event the other party does not comply with its obligations under the Agreement, and other customary contractual terms and conditions, including representations, warranties, covenants, insurance, confidentiality and indemnification provisions.
