Schrack Family Farm Methane Project
Schrack Family Farm methane project
This 12th-generation family farm project started operations in late August 2006 in Loganton, PA, thanks to consumer and business purchases of all of its lifetime renewable energy credits and CO2-equivalent methane emission reductions. Our customers purchases have helped build the Schrack digester by providing guaranteed funds with which Schrack was able to secure additional capital needed to make the project go.
The Schrack's family farm's anaerobic digester is capturing methane gas from cow manure, and is producing electricity with a 200 kW generator while recovering the waste heat to both heat the digester and reduce the use of oil-fired water heating required on the farm. The farm system will displace electricity on the grid, keeping more than 630 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution out of the air annually, and will also destroy methane that would otherwise have escaped from its manure storage lagoons equivalent to an additional 31,000 of CO2 out of the air over the next 20 years. That's like keeping 4000 SUV's off the road for a year.
