Kevin Maas, co-founder of Farm Power, will discuss development of his business at “Company Presentations, Part II,” Agriculture 2.0, 2:30 – 3:30 PM, New York City, September 17, 2009.
Farm Power recycles local farm and food waste into renewable electricity. The company received a $500,000 USDA Renewable Energy Grant in 2008, and has a purchase agreement with Puget Sound Energy.
Farm Power is a Skagit County, Washington company operating at the intersection of sustainable agriculture and renewable energy. Its facilities are designed around a proven, commercialized technology called an anaerobic manure digester that harvests methane gas from manure. Methane is burned to create electricity for sale, while sending the processed manure back to partner farmers as an organic fertilizer now free of pathogens and odor. In the process, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by thousands of tons per year. Farm Power has one digester facility under construction and planning efforts underway in five counties.
