Bioenergy Devco (BDC), the North American division of BTS Bioenergy, a leader in the design, engineering, construction, financing and anaerobic digestion operation, has been approved to negotiate a public-private partnership agreement to build an organics recycling facility by the Middlesex County Utilities Authority (MCUA) in the US.
The partnership between BDC and MCUA will see the construction of a facility that will recycle organic food waste from Middlesex County and central New Jersey, creating renewable natural gas (RNG) and organic soil amendments.
The facility will be co-located with current Solid Waste Division facilities in East Brunswick, and is expected to process up to 115,000 tons of organic waste.
The RNG produced will power homes and businesses in the region, while the organic soil amendment will be used to improve soil health and crop yields.
"We are proud to have been chosen by MCUA to partner on this project and help them achieve their sustainability goals," said Shawn Kreloff, CEO of Bioenergy Devco.
"Our anaerobic digestion technology is a proven solution for organics recycling, diverting food waste from landfills and moving us towards a circular and sustainable future. We are committed to working with MCUA in constructing a facility tailored to the community, and we look forward to bringing the benefits of organics recycling to Middlesex."
"We are excited to work with Bioenergy Devco to bring this project to fruition," said John Wiley, chairman of the Middlesex County Utilities Authority.
"We anticipate that this facility will not just assist us in accomplishing our sustainability objectives, but it will also yield economic advantages for the area and enhance the standard of living for our community members."
