What We Do Now
• organize, own, and operate community anaerobic digesters.
• build on relationships formed throughout Pacific Northwest since our founding in 2007
• produce 10,000 MWh of green power and 15,000 tons of verified carbon offsets annually
• save dairy farmers at our two operating projects thousands of dollars a week on bedding, fertilizer, and manure handling costs

Materials handling
• can accept up to 30% non-manure feedstock
• quality of digested fiber remains high

Farm Power
Annual impact--per digester
• 20 million gallons of manure processed
• electricity to power 500 homes
• methane destruction equivalent to taking 2,000 cars off the road
• 20,000 cubic yards of fiber for bedding or horticultural use
• two skilled full-time jobs
• sustainable disposal of 5,000 tons of food-processing waste
• ability to extract 300,000 pounds of nitrogen and phosphorus for application elsewhere
