Cape Gazette Editorial: A solution to poultry waste problem
October 14, 2022
Disposing of poultry waste is a problem Sussex County farmers and poultry processing companies have battled for decades.
There is no doubt that the farming and poultry industries are intertwined. Sussex County is the largest poultry producer in the U.S. in an industry that generates $1.7 billion and provides more nearly 29,000 jobs in Delaware. Eighty cents of every dollar earned by local farmers is related to the poultry industry. The wholesale value of chicken produced on Delmarva in 2021 was a record $4.2 billion.
Current options for disposal are not optimum for the environment.
DE Business Now Editorial: My take: Fear-mongering and converting chicken poop to natural gas
September 20, 2022
On the eve of a virtual (Zoom) public information session next week, a Maryland-based company is making a case for a chicken poop to natural gas plant near Seaford.
Bioenergy Devco may not like that description, but that’s what the company has in mind at a portion of its 200-plus-acre compositing site purchased from Perdue in 2020.
Bioenergy Devco wants to add something known as an anaerobic digester to the site that would convert poultry waste to renewable natural gas.
