U.S. Gain and Entech Solutions Bring Renewable Energy to a Wisconsin Dairy Digester
U.S. Gain is excited to share its first integration of a solar microgrid at its Dallmann East River Dairy digester in Brillion, Wisconsin. This U.S. Gain-owned digester has been producing renewable natural gas for the transportation industry since August 2020.
Representing a major step forward for innovation in rural Wisconsin, this project highlights the integration of sustainability progress and energy independence into the farming and renewable natural gas communities. Using solar panels, renewable electricity is generated and used to power day-to-day digester operations. This electricity can also be stored in onsite batteries to be used at night or on cloudy days. Additionally, through onsite combined heat and power technology, heat is captured and repurposed to reduce natural gas demand.
