Hog farming generates significant methane emissions from manure lagoons, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Traditional waste management practices often fail to capture and utilize these emissions effectively.

Monarch Bioenergy converts methane emissions from hog farms into carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) through anaerobic digestion. The RNG is pipeline-quality and can be used to power homes, businesses, and transportation. The process also produces organic fertilizer, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and improving soil health. Additionally, Monarch Bioenergy is involved in prairie grass reclamation, which captures and stores carbon, reduces flooding, and enhances wildlife habitats.
