America’s biogas industry experienced significant expansion last year as 70 additional facilities began operations across the country, new industry data reveals.

The American Biogas Council released figures showing these new installations pushed the nation’s total biogas facility count to nearly 2,600 operational plants. This growth represents continued momentum in the renewable energy sector as more communities and businesses turn to organic waste conversion for power generation.
