Florida Company Turns Manure into Energy

A Florida bio-energy plant has found a way to process horse manure into renewable energy, organic soil and bio-fertilizer, giving the state’s equine industry an efficient method of disposing of animal waste. The project, funded through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, produces enough electricity to meet the needs of the bio-energy plant and provide energy to a nearby livestock pavilion. The organic soil and bio-fertilizer will be bagged and marketed to local nurseries. (Southeast Farm Press) Read more.
