What is Methane Digester?

Methane Digester Phase IIKline’s Services is working to implement an innovative renewable energy initiative. Phase II of this initiative will couple a methane digester and a generator to produce electricity to not only meet the needs of Kline’s Services, but also to net meter approximately 400kWh.

Project Overview

Phase II of Kline’s Services Renewable Energy System Project is the installation of a methane digester and a generator to produce electricity. The methane digester will take organic waste from a large number of food manufacturing facilities collected by Kline’s Services and turn the waste into a methane-rich biogas. This biogas will then be used to fuel engine generators set to produce 600kW of electricity all year round. The food-waste generated power will provide 4 times more power than currently consumed by Kline’s Services. The excess generated electricity will be net metered through a substation currently on Kline’s property.
