Newtrient Comments/Opinions:

GESS is currently involved in eight biogas projects in North Carolina totaling 4,000,000 MMbtu's. GESS International has not been evaluated using Newtrient's 9-point scoring process because, although their process appears to be suited for use on dairy manure and they have expressed interested in working with the industry, Newtrient is not aware of any current dairy based projects.
