American Biogas Council recognizes anaerobic digester projects
Herrema Dairy and Holsum Irish Dairy were both selected for ABC Longevity awards.
The American Biogas Council recognized several anaerobic digester projects that have been pushing the industry forward, the council stated. Biogas systems, which use anaerobic digestion to recycle organic material into renewable energy and soil products, can produce 24 hours a day and 365 days a year with 95 percent reliability.
At the 2022 BIOGAS AMERICAS conference in late May, 55 projects were celebrated by ABC for their longevity in operation, with 41 projects recognized for more than 10 years in operation and 14 projects operating for five years or more. DVO, ConAgra, CDM Smith and CH4 Biogas were acknowledged for each having a digester project in operation for more than 10 years. Cumulatively, these 55 systems have provided nearly 700 years of non-stop service.
