Dairy waste-to-energy project planned for San Joaquin Valley

“Human BioSystems announced today that HBS BioEnergy, has formed a joint venture with Visalia based Dairy Development Group and Agrimass Enviro-Energy to build an Energy Park in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Energy Park will utilize waste from surrounding dairies to provide the power needed to fuel a proposed ethanol plant to be located on site. ‘The joint venture involves developing and operating an innovative agricultural waste-to-energy park,’ explained Len Chapman, Founder and CEO of Agrimass Enviro-Energy and Dairy Development Group. ‘This is the perfect model for agricultural production because it takes a problem – manure – and turns it into power and other energy products, which then fuels the ethanol plant that produces cleaner-burning fuels. This is the kind of green industry we need in the Valley.’ “
