Small and Medium Dairy Farms

Anaerobic digestion for small and medium dairy farms combines manure and food & beverage waste to produce renewable energy. A typical farm in our Farm Powered codigestion program has 350-1,500 dairy cows.

Large Dairy Farms

Manure-only anaerobic digestion is a sustainable solution for large dairy farms. A typical manure-only project consists of a cluster of farms totaling 10,000+ dairy cows, with digesters specially designed to handle high volumes of manure.

Soil Enhancing Fertilizer & Animal Bedding

Anaerobic digestion produces valuable agricultural byproducts.

Fertilizer

The digestate (liquid low-carbon fertilizer) contains valuable nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, that can improve soil health, increase crop yields, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

Animal Bedding

After the organic materials are broken down and the gas is extracted, the remaining solids can be used as a nutrient-rich bedding material for livestock. This helps farmers reduce bedding costs and is an added benefit of this sustainable organic waste recycling solution.
