GESS International begins construction works on two biogas projects in US
GESS International joined economic development officials, local farmers and community leaders in November to break ground on two new biomass plants. The first, on Nov. 8, 2018 marked the start of work at the Wilson County Green Energy Biogas Park in Stantonsburg North Carolina; the second, on Nov. 14, at the Union County Green Energy Biogas Park in Monroe, NC.
Both biogas production plants are expected to start construction in Q1 of 2019 and become fully operational by Q3 of 2020. GESS’s biogas plant developments represent an investment of approximately US$33 million in each community.
The plants are expected to utilize 160,000 tons of swine waste and 80,000 tons of green biomass, producing 500,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas annually; the biomass production is the energy equivalent of powering 6,800 homes. Each plant will also help create 16 new full-time jobs in the community.
