Aiming to reduce emissions through the production of renewable natural gas in its rendering facilities, Darling Ingredients has unveiled a partnership with GreenGasUSA.
Darling Ingredients Inc., one of the world’s leading companies turning food waste into sustainable products and producer of renewable energy, has announced that it plans to reduce emissions from its wastewater treatment plants at some of its rendering facilities by capturing biogas and converting it to renewable natural gas (RNG) in partnership with GreenGasUSA.
The initial plan is to start with five Darling Ingredients plants in the United States with the opportunity to expand to other facilities depending on feasibility and market conditions.
“Darling continues to find value where others see waste,” said Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO of Darling Ingredients. “By combining our deep knowledge of RNG from our position in Europe with the capabilities of GreenGas in the U.S., Darling can significantly decrease its greenhouse gas emissions and help develop a successful RNG business in the U.S.”
Marc Fetten, CEO and Founder of GreenGas USA, noted, “We are excited to announce this landmark agreement with Darling Ingredients. It is our mission at GreenGas to help businesses reduce their environmental impact by providing solutions that generate economic benefits. Darling Ingredients has been at the forefront of the effort to repurpose waste and integrate circularity into industrial operations and GreenGas is proud to support this mandate by partnering to convert agricultural and food waste into a valuable renewable energy product.”
