The technology prevents food scraps and other organics from being disposed of in landfills, mitigating the release of potent methane gas, a significant contributor to climate change. Bioenergy Devco helps communities across the country meet their sustainability goals by turning waste into renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gasses, and advancing environmental stewardship. The Long Beach facility will use anaerobic digestion technology to generate biogas from organic waste streams, then clean and condition the gas to pipeline quality RNG. Once complete, Long Beach's facility will process up to 314,000 tons (284,856 tonnes) of organic material per year, mitigating the release of more than 47,545 tons (43,132 tonnes) of carbon dioxide equivalent into the atmosphere. The new facility will be constructed on the Southeast Resource Recovery Facility (SERRF) site, previously operated by Covanta. The SERRF is slated to be decommissioned and demolished by the city later this year.
