On the Move: Week of October 16, 2023

Three outstanding U.S. renewable energy projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by converting organic wastes into clean energy have been recognized with leadership awards from the NGO Energy Vision: BioTown Biogas, Dickinson College Farm and EMG International's project for the beverage manufacturer American Fruits & Flavors.

BioTown Biogas (BTB), a partnership with Green Rock Energy Partners, expanded BioTown Ag's anaerobic digester facility on its Reynolds, Indiana farm into one of the largest on-farm digester operations in the world.

Dickinson College Farm is building a small-scale anaerobic digester as a replicable model for other small farms. It processes waste from a neighboring farm's dairy cows, food waste from the College's dining hall and local businesses, and spent grain from a local brewery. This avoids methane emissions, eliminates farm runoff, and generates renewable electricity to power the farm and sell back to the grid.

EMG International installed its PurEffluent^® system at American Fruits & Flavors beverage factory in San Fernando, California, owned by Monster Energy, to treat its high-strength wastewater.
