Bioenergy Innovation Center in Delaware Plans to Use New Organic Recycling Technology
When Jeff Deats looks out over the 200-plus-acre composting site he manages in Seaford, Delaware, he can envision new advantages for western Sussex County – renewable energy, cleaner water and air, and well-paid jobs.
Maryland-based Bioenergy Devco purchased the former Perdue AgriRecycle composting operation in February 2020, renamed the facility and plans to bring in new organic recycling technology. The project has earned widespread support from Sussex County leaders and is currently obtaining state permits. The Bioenergy Innovation Center is undergoing a transformation that will strengthen the western Sussex County economy, improve regional water quality and support local family farms.
