New York State: Stauffer Farm Turns Methane From 6,000 Cows into Renewable Natural Gas
An energy project at a dairy farm in North Lawrence, New York, will convert manure from over 6,000 cows into renewable natural gas.
The Stauffer Farm will lease five acres of their land to LF Bioenergy, who will finance and operate a methane digester that converts the manure into the natural gas. From there, it will be piped into Liberty Utilities’ network of natural gas pipelines that run throughout the north country. Martin Construction Resource will construct the digester. LF Bioenergy’s role also included selecting the Stauffer Farm as the project site, and linking them with Martin and Liberty. The money to develop and build the project will come from Cresta Funds out of Dallas, Texas.
