Milbank Circularity Center

About the project

The Milbank Circularity Center in Milbank, South Dakota, includes building two new anaerobic digesters on Mill Valley Farm in Grant County. The manure from this farm will produce renewable natural gas each year. After the center is complete, the biogas generated by this manure will be captured, cleaned, and converted into RNG. The Milbank Circularity Center is part of the third tranche of projects developed under the Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC joint venture with Chevron U.S.A. Inc.

Project benefits

Lowering CO2 Emissions icon

GHG REDUCTIONS

This project reduces emissions by an average of over 23,000 tons of CO2eq annually. That is equivalent to planting more than 28,000 acres of forest per year.

RESOURCE RECOVERY

The process of recovering and processing manure from the farms will prevent excess emissions from escaping into the local air and water.
Renewable Natural Gas icon

WASTE TO NEW PRODUCTS

The center will generate renewable natural gas annually. Other renewable products generated by the project include fertilizer.

“As dairy farmers, we can be part of the solution in helping the environment. The digester projects are a win-win because we can further process the manure while reducing greenhouse gasses. Agriculture continually evolves. Our improvements in sustainability in the last generation are just short of incredible. Unfortunately, we don’t often tell our stories. We are looking forward to partnering with Brightmark to bring these next-generation projects to South Dakota.”
