Maine Dairy Digester in the Works to Turn Cow Manure into Gas, Heating Homes
Flood Brothers Farm in Clinton, Maine, will soon be home to what's known as a renewable natural gas dairy digester. It will be able to produce methane from cow manure brought there from local farms, and that gas will be used to heat homes and businesses in the area.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held at the farm in what's known as the Dairy Capital of Maine Wednesday morning. Peaks Renewables, a subsidiary of Summit Utilities is overseeing the project.
