Crouch visits BioTown Biogas

REYNOLDS, Ind. — Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch visited BioTown Biogas in Reynolds to learn about one of the world’s largest on-farm biodigesters for renewable energy production.

BioTown Biogas activated a new digester and processing facility. The company sources food waste, manure and other agricultural waste to produce renewable natural gas and electric power.

The new facility is expected to generate more than 42 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power per year, while also producing more than 3 million gallons of renewable fuel per year.

“This day represents a tipping point for our region, for the energy industry and for a more sustainable future,” Crouch said.

“With the commissioning of this renewable energy facility, BioTown Biogas and the state of Indiana are claiming our position on the leading edge of a new era in clean energy production. Indiana is eager to see and support more of this type of investment in the state.”

The facility supports more than 50 full-time jobs in White County and surrounding communities.
