 PurposeEnergy Opens Anaerobic Digestion Facility with Ben & Jerry's
PurposeEnergy has opened an anaerobic digestion (AD) facility in St. Albans, Vermont. The facility converts high-strength organic waste and out-of-spec food products into renewable electricity and recycled water. Ice cream manufacturer Ben & Jerry's has a long-term feedstock agreement with PurposeEnergy and sends production waste streams directly to the facility through a dedicated pipeline. The AD facility also receives feedstock from regional producers. It began exporting electricity to the Vermont grid in December 2024 and is expected to generate 8,750,000 kWh annually. Also, up to 45,000 million Btu of renewable thermal energy is recovered each year to heat the digester and support facility operations. For more information, click here.

 Virginia Treatment Plant, Gas Utility Lay Groundwork for RNG Facility
Hampton Roads Sanitary District (HRSD) has signed an agreement with Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) to install a renewable natural gas (RNG) facility at the Atlantic Treatment Plant (ATP) in Virginia Beach. ATP's anaerobic digester currently processes wastewater solids and food waste. Waste from local restaurants is collected and combined with wastewater solids for codigestion. The biosolids from the digester are composted or applied to agricultural lands. The planned RNG facility will allow HRSD to sell raw digester gas to VNG, to be refined into RNG and injected into the pipeline. For more information, click here.
