New Hope Digester Finds New Owner & Design
Mid-Year Update on Calgren Dairy Fuels Cluster:
The Van Beek Brothers Dairy (Tipton, CA) fired up their biogas-powered genset to mark the new year. Doug and Tim Van Beek’s 800 kW generator , packaged by Maas Motor Works in Redding, California, has finished commissioning and is now selling power directly to Southern California Edison through the Bioenergy Market Adjusting Tariff (BioMAT) – a program requiring utilities to buy dairy power. The Van Beek family chose to finance the project themselves and now own the facility 100%, with operational support from Maas Energy Works.
Dear Reader, Welcome to the first edition of California’s premier newsletter on Dairy Digesters. Dairy biogas has earned a lot of attention in the last few years as a large industry has grown up to deliver more biogas projects, and if you’re a dairy producer, you’ve probably been approached with many proposals. So we’ve started this publication to provide information; not only about projects our team is building, but to include updates on the whole digester industry, government policies, and other events that impact California dairy biogas. We hope you find our publications both informative and engaging.
