The Northeast’s Largest Renewable Natural Gas Digester Begins Operations in Salisbury
The largest anaerobic digester in the Northeast began full-scale production of renewable natural gas on July 21st on the Goodrich Family Farm in Salisbury, just south of Middlebury, Vermont.
The digester is an important step in reducing the state’s dependence on fossil fuels and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural industry, which currently produces more than 10% of the state’s emissions, according to Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Anson Tebbetts.
