The Cayuga Anaerobic Digester and Biogas Plant recently completed a 3-year long project to produce renewable natural gas (RNG), and successfully completed injecting gas into the natural gas pipeline for the first time in August 2025. The digester utilizes biological processes to convert 90,000 tons of food waste per year into 195,000 MMBtu RNG and nitrogen-rich organic fertilizer used on more than 1,000 acres of local farmland.

IKEA U.S. Partners With Vanguard Renewables To Launch New Food Waste Pilot To Further Circularity Efforts
In September 2025, IKEA U.S. announced the launch of a food waste collection pilot that gives new life to food scraps and furthers the company's goal of zero food waste by 2030. The pilot launches this month at five IKEA stores in New Haven, Stoughton, Schaumburg, Bolingbrook, and Oak Creek, and will transform food waste like plate scrapings, kitchen trimmings, and expired food goods from IKEA restaurants. Vanguard Renewables will collect the food waste and convert it into renewable natural gas and low-carbon fertilizer for local agriculture through a proprietary anaerobic digestion process. Each store is expected to divert around 250 pounds of waste per week, equating to over 32,000 pounds over the course of the six-month pilot. For more information, click here.
