Improve operating margins and cash flow by improving the energy efficiency of the Keyes Plant. During the last several years, we have implemented projects to improve the plant's energy efficiency, which lowers the carbon intensity and increases the value of the ethanol we produce and sell. To continue this strategy, we are in the process of procuring and installing a mechanical vapor recompression (“MVR”) system that is expected to reduce natural gas consumption at the Keyes Plant by more than 80%.

Continue to seek alternative feedstocks and improve product yields to minimize cost and carbon emissions. Over the past 12 years, we have made several improvements to the Keyes Plant that allow us to sell substantially all of our byproducts from the ethanol production process as commercial products into the local agricultural economy. We are continuing to seek out and evaluate potential feedstocks that will reduce cost and carbon intensity, with an emphasis on processes that use cellulosic feedstocks to augment or replace current feedstocks.

Leverage our position as an established dairy digester owner and operator to continue to build dairy digesters and connected pipeline to increase RNG production. In 2018, we benefited from our established relationship with more than 80 California Central Valley dairies to begin signing leases and raising funds to construct dairy digesters. We now have twelve operating dairy digesters that produce biomethane, additional digesters under construction, and agreements with over 50 dairies for the supply of feedstock to current and future digesters.
