Between college and law school, Mr. Rockett worked as an economist
at a consulting firm providing services to energy companies.
“Aemetis completed the
construction and operation of projects in the U.S. and India, and
now has several new projects underway that are expected to
significantly grow our revenues while reducing global carbon
emissions,” said Eric McAfee, CEO of Aemetis. “We expect that
Mike’s extensive experience and renewable sector knowledge will be
instrumental in helping us successfully execute those projects and
achieve the goals of our Five Year Plan. We are pleased to have
Mike on board and look forward to his immediate impact on our
growth plans.”
“Joining Aemetis during
this period of rapid growth is an exciting opportunity to
contribute to an experienced management team that has already
demonstrated success in the development and operation of complex
renewable fuels production facilities,” Rockett stated.
In addition to corporate
and commercial law, Mr. Rockett has extensive experience in
environmental law, low carbon renewable fuels, and the permitting
and development of industrial facilities. Aemetis currently
produces ethanol, biodiesel, renewable natural gas, and other
products. Mr. Rockett’s sector specific experience is especially
