Growing Power

GrowingPowerThe Growing Power™ Anaerobic Digestion System launched in 2007 by Highmark Renewables is a unique system to derive enormous energy value from high-solids and highly fibrous organic wastes, such as manure from outdoor feedlots, food industry residues and municipal solid waste.

The two main products of a Highmark Growing Power Anaerobic Digestion System facility are biogas (renewable natural gas) and biofertilizer (high quality fertilizer and soil amendment product).
