Natural gas has 25% less carbon than diesel, and when you source that natural gas from a landfill or other renewable source, it has even less carbon imapact. Some sources even have a net negative carbon impact—like processing cow manure to create a useable form of natural gas that powers heavy trucks.

IGS has entered into the biogas space by building, owning and operating technology that will capture methane from large-scale dairy farms in Ohio and Indiana. IGS will process the manure onsite and truck the cleaned pipeline quality gas to a central pipeline injection site, where it will be nominated for use in the transportation sector.

The manure digesters are 20 feet tall and can hold over 2 million gallons of liquid.

“We’re using our expertise and our capital to partner with dairy farmers who are busy tending to their herds and trying to get the milk to market,” IGS CEO Scott White says. “We’re inserting our technology into the existing farm’s process in order to generate additional value from the waste product. And because the farmer is a critical part of this process, they also share in the value that is created.”

In other words, the work is a win-win, as it benefits the environment and farmers, White says.“It’s about what are we good at, what is our skill set, and how we can apply that in ways that might serve a purpose that matches our vision—building sustainable projects.”
