Facilities in Virginia and Ohio Convert Food Waste into Renewable Natural Gas
Two facilities in Virginia and Ohio convert large amounts of food waste into renewable natural gas using anaerobic digestion. These projects divert over 105,000 and 190,000 tons of discarded food annually from landfills, reducing methane emissions—a potent greenhouse gas. The renewable gas produced supports local industries and feeds into existing pipelines. Both initiatives highlight practical climate benefits and economic viability, supported by federal incentives and partnerships with energy companies.
