Vanguard Renewables breaks ground at newest Minnesota AD facility
The facility will process more than 300 tons of food and beverage waste per day, providing regional manufacturers, retailers, and distributors with a reliable way to divert material from landfills at a time when growing regulatory pressure and sustainability commitments are accelerating demand for scalable organics recycling. Through anaerobic digestion, that material will be converted into renewable natural gas and nutrient-rich fertilizer, creating a closed-loop system that connects waste diversion with local energy production and regenerative agriculture.
Once commissioned, the facility will produce approximately 270,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas annually—enough to meet the energy needs of approximately 5,300 homes. The facility will interconnect to CenterPoint Energy’s distribution system, which serves approximately 950,000 customers across Minnesota.
