Smithfield Foods’ “manure-to-energy” project to inject renewable natural gas to Milan, Mo., distribution system
Smithfield installed infrastructure to capture methane emissions from its Northern Missouri hog farms and convert them into pipeline-quality natural gas.
Smithfield Foods, Inc., Smithfield, Va., completed construction of a low-pressure natural gas transmission line connecting a Smithfield hog farm located in Milan, Mo., with the city of Milan’s natural gas pipeline. Renewable natural gas (RNG) produced at the hog farm will be directly injected into the natural gas transmission line flowing into Milan’s natural gas distribution system prior to delivery.
Smithfield’s “manure-to-energy” projects in Missouri, which were announced just a few months ago, are part of Smithfield Renewables, the company’s platform to unify and accelerate its carbon reduction and renewable energy efforts and achieve its goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 25% by 2025.
