Manure From California Dairy Farm Powers 17,000 Electric Vehicles
Cows from Bar 20 Dairy in California are helping fuel more than 17,000 electric vehicles. Seven thousand cows from Bar 20 Dairy near Fresno are providing manure to the project. The poop goes from “cow houses” into a pipeline and covered lagoon outfitted with a “first-of-its-kind, next generation, climate-smart digester,” the dairy says.

Middleton digester using solar energy to move manure-based fuel
In a new renewable energy milestone, a Wisconsin company is using the power of the sun to transport fuel made from cow manure. Through a partnership with Peterbilt Motors and Maki Trucking, EnTech Solutions plans to use a battery-powered truck to haul methane from its Middleton biodigester to a pipeline injection port at the Dane County landfill. Charged with energy from the digester’s solar panels, EnTech says the electric truck will lower the operation’s environmental impact and make it more profitable.

Pizza Hut Partners With Dairy Farmers of America On Innovative Farm-Level Sustainability Project Through 2024
Since Pizza Hut’s inception in 1958, it has worked with the same family-owned business to supply 100% real cheese made with whole milk to top its pizza and that commitment to the highest-quality cheese will remain unchanged. With this announcement, Pizza Hut will leverage its national scale by partnering with DFA and dairy suppliers to help make its supply chain more environmentally friendly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The Power of Cow Manure: How Farms of the Future Are Transforming Waste-to-Energy Operations
The use of renewable energy in the agriculture industry is an exciting new frontier that—with the right partners—can bring environmental and economic benefits to farmers, surrounding communities, and the renewable transportation fuel industry. And it truly revolves around manure.

Sustainable Solutions Through Manure Management
More than 250 dairies across the U.S. use some type of anaerobic digester system to generate electricity or renewable natural gas (RNG). The technology adds a revenue stream for the farm, aids in manure management and community relations, provides lower carbon fertilizer options and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, all of which enhance sustainability efforts.

Vanguard Renewables Acquired … Plus Other RNG News
Massachusetts-based Vanguard Renewables, an anaerobic digester developer founded in 2014, announced on July 20 that a fund managed by BlackRock Real Assets has acquired the company from Vision Ridge Partners, the original majority investor in the company.

Dairy farmers in Michigan look toward a competitive future
Michigan State University is planning to make some big changes to its greenhouses and Cattle Research Center, which are both more than 40 years old. The state of Michigan is giving the university over $53 million to help renovate the buildings.

Varcor: From Dairy Waste to Drinking Water
The VarcorTM system from Washington state-based Sedron Technologies converts dairy manure into high-value components in a continuous closed loop, all without tractors, manure spreaders, or waste lagoons.

Natural gas could power new chapter in manure-to-energy
Unlike electricity generated from methane, renewable natural gas doesn’t have to be sold to a utility company and put on the power grid, where returns are meager in most of the United States. Instead, it’s fed into pipelines and sold to municipalities or transit agencies for vehicles or to industrial users, generating credits under state clean air standards in California and, perhaps soon, New York and other states.

‘Cow power’ goes dark as manure-to-electricity fizzles
Absent a national commitment to make renewable energy from manure financially viable, cow power is unlikely to catch on the way its proponents hoped.
