Smithfield Foods to construct biogas gathering systems to deliver renewable natural gas
In Missouri, construction is in progress to connect Smithfield farms equipped with covered lagoons to a biogas gathering system.
Smithfield Foods, Inc., Smithfield, Va., announced plans to construct new biogas gathering systems in Missouri and Utah, bringing the company closer to delivering renewable natural gas (RNG) to communities in multiple states using manure from its hog farms.
“By finding innovative ways to reduce GHG emissions and use existing resources to power our planet, we are playing a critical role in providing consumers with nutritious food, as well as the renewable energy to prepare it. That’s our mission at Smithfield—to produce good food the right way,” says Kenneth Sullivan, president and CEO.
