In the United States (US), GreenGasUSA and Wayne-Sanderson Farms have announced a collaboration to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) at a portfolio of Wayne-Sanderson Farms facilities across the country by leveraging existing wastewater treatment and biogas assets to bring pipeline quality RNG to market.
According to a statement, the two companies also plan to identify and develop additional RNG facilities at other poultry processing sites in the Wayne-Sanderson Farms portfolio, targeting locations with the largest potential to decrease methane emissions and those with the capacity for co-location of a liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery system.
Wayne-Sanderson Farms has already proven itself a leader in efforts to reduce waste and promote circularity within its operating portfolio. Combining the innovative strategies in place at Wayne Sanderson facilities with GreenGas’s RNG expertise will ensure the maximum RNG yields and on-site environmental benefits – including a further reduction of Scope 1 emissions in Wayne-Sanderson Farms’ carbon footprint. We are incredibly proud of the opportunity to work with Wayne-Sanderson Farms to build upon the success of their existing biogas operations and support the company in achieving their climate targets said Marc Fetten, CEO and Founder of GreenGasUSA.
Employing over 26,000 people, Wayne-Sanderson Farms owns and operates 23 fresh and further-processing facilities across Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas.
We recognize that true progress on environmental challenges requires collaboration, and we are excited to be at the forefront of innovation in renewable energy generation with GreenGasUSA. This partnership demonstrates our unwavering commitment to minimizing our carbon footprint and dedication to a more sustainable future, said Paul Billingsley, VP of Development and Engineering at Wayne-Sanderson Farms.
