Utah facility turns old food into renewable energy

A Utah facility has a public-private partnership between ALPRO Energy & Water and the South Davis Sewer District  solve the food waste problem while creating natural energy.They take the meat, dairy food, oily food, as well as the fruits and vegetable scraps put into a machine which liquefies it, and that liquid is then put into a digester. The digester will release methane. The gas captured is then transferred to the Dominion energy pipeline and sold. Now, the facility is at a third capacity with nearly 100 clients. When it is at capacity, the plant will produce enough energy to fuel a town of 40,000 people.
