PROJECT POWER-FULL

Cow manure as energy? You bet.

As IGS moves to fulfill its purpose to build a sustainable energy future for a healthier planet, it’s committed to introducing renewable energy to the mix when and where it makes sense.

That’s how it came to have a CEO and executive leadership team excited about cow patties. With IGS Energy’s natural gas compression experience, its pipeline access and its network of CNG (compressed natural gas) stations, it’s planning to transform the biogas generated by dairy farms into fuel for heavy trucks starting in late 2023.

The environmental impacts of methane, which manure generates, are welldocumented. The gas is one of the primary greenhouse gases, believed to be responsible for about 30% of global warming, according to United Nations Environment Programme. The biggest driver? Agriculture, followed by fossil fuels.
