In California, California Bioenergy LLC announced the successful completion of its 78th dairy digester project in the state of California, marking a significant milestone in the company’s mission to promote sustainable energy solutions and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
By year’s end, with the addition of 8 dairy digester projects in South Dakota, CalBio will have a total of 86 operating digesters built in partnership with 94 dairy farm families.
With the commissioning of its newest dairy biomethane cluster in Hilmar, CalBio now operates 7 clusters located across California’s San Joaquin Valley. Clusters are groups of digesters that share a centralized gas clean-up facility, where the captured dairy biogas is upgraded and then injected into a natural gas pipeline. In addition to clusters, CalBio is advancing the development of virtual pipeline projects and digester projects that produce clean electricity for dairies separated geographically from other farms.
CalBio has utilized the important methane reduction programs of the California Air Resources Board, California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and has worked closely with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
