We're committed to reducing emissions from organic waste while helping small dairy farmers become more sustainable by providing them with a manure management solution, a diversified revenue stream, and beneficial agricultural byproducts. Each of our Farm Powered anaerobic digesters is custom-designed based on the host farm’s manure content and the region’s organic waste feedstock available, which means that capacities are limited as we continue to expand. 🍎 Get in touch with our team to reserve space in our digesters: https://lnkd.in/eHVNvpAp

So lucky to have such good friends and partners as Andy and AstraZeneca. Really fun to be able to chat about our project’s successes!
Last week, the RTC held a webinar discussing the groundbreaking renewable natural gas (RNG) agreement between AstraZeneca and Vanguard Renewables. Speakers Andy Wirths from AstraZeneca, John Hanselman from Vanguard Renewables, and Ruth Checknoff from the RTC delved into how this agreement, which will supply AstraZeneca with 650,000 MMBtu/year for the next 15 years or more, supports the company’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its global operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 98% by 2026. Key topics covered: • The decision-making process behind the agreement • Key outcomes of the project • Lessons learned and insights for other organizations 🎥 Watch the webinar recording: https://lnkd.in/e3hPzAaW 📄 Read the case study: https://lnkd.in/gXmB87Kz #RenewableEnergy #RNG #Sustainability #Decarbonization #Climate #Webinar

Join us tomorrow from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. ET for our Case Study Webinar on the AstraZeneca & Vanguard Renewables U.S. RNG Agreement. Andy Wirths, Senior Vice President of Supply Americas at AstraZeneca, shares his thoughts on the importance of the agreement with Vanguard Renewables to supply #RNG for AstraZeneca’s U.S. manufacturing and R&D facilities for the next 15 years: “Vanguard Renewables enabled us to accelerate our sustainability journey, and it’s exciting to be on the front edge of innovation here. Now that this partnership has been created, my hope is that for the next company striving to decarbonize, it will be much easier. Part of our ambition for AstraZeneca is that we pave the way for others to follow. Hopefully it’s easier for others now that this pathway is defined.” Andy Wirths will be joined on the webinar by John Hanselman, Founder and Board Member at Vanguard Renewables. Together they will share the decision-making process, key outcomes, and lessons learned from this groundbreaking #renewablenaturalgas agreement.
