Environmental and Social Benefits
Working in partnership with industry-leading food processors, technology providers, and farmers, StormFisher Biogas develops biogas-based renewable energy installations across North America. Learn more about biogas technology here.
StormFisher Biogas installations will power electrical generators from 2 to 5 megawatts in size, or will produce produce high-quality natural gas. By making use of of a range of by-products from the food processing and agri-food industries, we will maximize biogas and electricity production.
Food processing and agri-food companies involved in biogas production partnerships can increase efficiency, and decrease costs. If you represent one of these companies, please contact us today at 416.850.6804.
Environmental and Social Benefits
The natural decomposition of manure and other organic matter releases a combination of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. Once in the atmosphere, methane is capable of trapping 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide and is considered a major contributor to global warming. When captured and used to generate energy, however, methane serves as an excellent fuel and provides the dual environmental benefit of being sequestered from the atmosphere and displacing traditional, polluting forms of energy like coal.
In addition to these energy-related environmental benefits, biogas production can also help to improve water quality and the safety of our water supplies. Many pathogens in the materials used to produce biogas, including manure, are killed during the digestion process.
The production of biogas provides not only environmental advantages, but also key social benefits. Because of their modular nature, biogas installations can be built where and when demand dictates, resulting in increased rural economic development and more jobs created in rural areas.
Additionally, the displacement of peaking electricity generation, such as coal-fired electricity, by biogas electricity generation, reduces health burdens on local populations by improving air quality and can increase quality of life.
