TotalEnergies and its partner Vanguard Renewables have commenced construction on the Oakmulgee Dairy Farm renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Amelia Court House, Virginia. This project aims to produce over 259,000 million British thermal units per year of renewable gas, diverting over 105,000 tons of food and beverage waste from landfills. The RNG produced will fuel AstraZeneca’s Maryland biopharmaceutical facilities, demonstrating the project’s environmental and economic benefits.
The Calgary Composting Facility is expanding its capacity to process organic waste from 100,000 to 160,000 tonnes per year. The expansion will include new anaerobic digestion technology to capture and treat odors from the facility. The city says the expansion will cost $38 million more than the original $50-million budget due to post-pandemic inflation and labor costs. However, the investment is expected to pay off in the long term as it will extend the life of the city’s landfill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Bioenergy Devco’s Maryland Bioenergy Center has reached its full nameplate capacity, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable energy production and its ability to efficiently handle food waste and organic recycling operations. The facility processes 120,000 tons of food waste annually, converting it into renewable natural gas and nutrient-rich soil amendments, underscoring its leadership in environmental sustainability.
