GreenGasUSA, Wayne-Sanderson Farms to step-up RNG/biogas production in USA

Just as America is diversifying and magnifying its green energy sources, GreenGasUSA and Wayne-Sanderson Farms have announced a collaboration to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) or biogas at a portfolio of Wayne-Sanderson Farms facilities across the USA. This will be done by leveraging existing wastewater treatment and biogas assets to bring pipeline quality RNG to market.

As per the agreement, 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 capacity for co-location of a liquid CO2 recovery system.

“Wayne-Sanderson Farms has already proven themselves a leader in efforts to reduce waste and promote circularity within their 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,” said CEO and Founder of GreenGasUSA Marc Fetten. “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.”

“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,” said Paul Billingsley, Vice President of Development and Engineering at Wayne-Sanderson Farms. “This partnership demonstrates our unwavering commitment to minimizing our carbon footprint and dedication to a more sustainable future.”

GreenGasUSA is majority owned by the IFM Net Zero Infrastructure Fund which is an open-ended fund, managed by IFM Investors. The organisation partners with global businesses to help reduce their environmental footprint by producing renewable natural gas and other renewable products, like carbon dioxide (CO2), clean water, and agricultural nutrients.

Wayne-Sanderson Farms claims to be an industry leader and America’s third-largest poultry producer, serving customers, consumers and communities with integrity, leadership and responsible farm, workplace and business practices.
