Five Wisconsin Dairy Farms to Use Microgy System to Convert Manure into Biogas

Environmental Power Corp. has announced that its subsidiary, Microgy Cogeneration Systems, has an agreement with Bach Farms to purchase a Microgy digester system to process manure produced by its dairy operations in Dorchester, Wis. Five farms have now agreed to adopt Microgy's anaerobic digestion technology. Microgy owns a license to a proprietary technology to convert manure and food industry wastes into biogas, providing a waste management solution with the potential to pay for itself by producing renewable energy and other residual products valuable to farmers and growers.

Like the earlier agreements, the Bach Farms agreement is part of Microgy's continuing efforts under its relationship with Dairyland Power Cooperative. The Dairyland Board of Directors has approved the Bach Farms project. Microgy's agreement with Bach Farms also provides Microgy with the right to operate and maintain the digester for the duration of its operational life.
