Environmental Power Corporation and Xergi collaborate in the US
ENVIRONMENTAL POWER CORPORATION
Environmental Power Corporation is a developer, owner, and operator of renewable energy production facilities. Their principal operating subsidiary, Microgy, Inc., develops and operates proven large scale, commercial anaerobic digestion based projects which produce versatile renewable energy as methane-rich biogas. This is produced from livestock waste and other organic sources.
XERGI A/S
Xergi A/S is a contractor and O&M operator with more than 20 years of experience within development, delivery, operation and maintenance of turnkey energy and environmental plants.
The biogas and manure separation activities of the company are focused on exploitation of energy and nutrients in organic waste, with effective energy transformation of biogas, natural gas and landfill gas. Efficient conversion is the main requirement when it comes to power, heating and/or cooling solutions. For more information visit the Company's web site at

EPC says:
Anaerobic Digestion helps to mitigate global warming in two ways:
- First, by capturing biogas, AD systems reduce emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
- Second, AD produces consistent and dependable amounts of renewable fuel that offset the need for fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.
