Biogas
Biogas
​
Our production goal is Biogas from animal and other waste. The waste is processed in our digester vessels and produces Biogas ( 60% methane and 40% CO2).
​
The byproducts are the effluents solids and liquid portion.
​
The Biogas is burned in a modified diesel engine with exhaust gas being 100% CO2.
​
Heat from the engine and C02 cooler is used for greenhouse heat. We super charge the grow beds with 1,400 parts per million of C02.
​
Photosynthesis from extend lighting grows plants faster and bigger by as much as 50%.
​
The liquid effluent as Makrogro rejuvenates soil by renewing the biome killed by Glyphosate.

Biogas Benefits-
​
-Biogas is the end product of animal waste breakdown formerly dissipated.
​
-OHFC Biogas feeds into the energy grid to offset production cost, reducing energy cost for cooperative members.
​
-Many Biogas processors remove CO2 to inject the CH4 methane into pipelines as RNG, renewable natural gas sold for 2.15 to 2.50 on the NYMEX exchange.
​
-The cost of CO2 removal equipment exceeds the cost of our greenhouse system.
​
-Biogas is a well established multi-billion dollar industry in Europe.
​
-The OHFC Biogas facility produces enough energy to power over 1,400 homes monthly using a thousand KW hours per month.
​
-The technology for Biogas production has existed for decades, perfected by Germany since the mid 1930's.
