Despite pushback, Delaware chicken waste facility advances

A new facility that will convert tons of Delmarva Peninsula’s chicken manure and slaughterhouse waste into energy is closer to becoming a reality. The county council in Delaware’s southernmost county approved a zoning change April 20 in a key regulatory win for Bioenergy Devco, the company seeking to build a $50 million anaerobic digester near the town of Blades. “The [digester] will provide a much-needed alternative to organic material management in the area,” said Peter Ettinger, the company’s chief development officer. “Not only will the facility reduce land application [of manure] and [keep] poultry organics from going into landfills, but it will also turn these organics into renewable natural gas and [produce a] virtually odorless soil amendment.”

Controversial chicken waste biorefinery moves forward in Sussex County

Controversial chicken waste biorefinery moves forward in Sussex County A unanimous vote from the Sussex County Council pushed forward plans to expand the Perdue AgriRecycle facility near Seaford, Del., for the purpose of converting chicken industry waste products into energy. The council voted 5-0 Tuesday for Cambridge-based Bioenergy Devco’s conditional use application for the newly renamed Bioenergy Innovation Center in Seaford, which project proponents say will produce sustainable energy and healthy soil products from organics that sometimes go to waste. The project will add an anaerobic digester, which breaks down matter using microorganisms at industrial scale, to the existing 220-acre composting facility. The operation will be permitted to process 200,000 metric tons of chicken waste products like heads, offal and feathers per year.
