GESS International Breaks Ground on New Biomass Plants in NC
GESS International, an ABC member, joined economic development officials, local farmers and community leaders in November to break ground on two new biomass plants. The first, on Nov. 8, marked the start of work at the Wilson County Green Energy Biogas Park in Stantonsburg NC; 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. 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. More>>

Former Fibrominn site may again produce bioenergy in Benson, CA
Until its closing this year, the former Fibrominn plant put Benson on the map as home to a one-of-a-kind power plant, the only one in the country designed to burn turkey litter as its primary fuel source. Brightmark Energy, an ABC member based in San Francisco, California, is one of two bidders seeking to purchase the former Fibrominn site from Xcel Energy. Brightmark is currently conducting a feasibility study with intentions of developing a facility that would use biomass -- animal and plant wastes from area farms -- to produce renewable natural gas.

Fertilizers' impact on soil health compared
In a newly published study, researchers dug into how fertilizing with manure affects soil quality, compared with inorganic fertilizer. A from-the-top view of equipment between rows of young soybean plants. The equipment includes two white concentric tubes sunk into the ground and filled with water, a tall graduated tube, and a white pail. Soil water infiltration sampling in the field. Photo credit Sandeep Kumar and team. Ekrem Ozlu of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his team studied two fields in South Dakota. From 2003 to 2015, the research team applied either manure or inorganic fertilizer to field plots growing corn and soybeans. They used low, medium, and high manure levels, and medium and high inorganic fertilizer levels. They also had a control treatment of no soil additives to provide a comparison. More>>
