A US renewable energy company in North Carolina is proposing a $30m plant to turn hog waste into natural gas. The plan has been put forward by Green Energy Sustainable Solutions (GESS), and would occupy a 10-acre site in County, Columbus Clarendon. It would take waste from 18,000 hogs at farms in the Clarendon, and also be capable of making use of corn silage, chicken manure and other agricultural waste products. The plant would produce bio-gas that would then be supplied to Duke Energy and other power companies.
