The Napoleonbiogas plant will enable the production of renewable electricity from waste generated from the production of soup, sauce and beverages.
An anaerobic digester at the plant will process material from food processors, waste recyclers and local dairy farms to generate methane gas.
Power produced will replace about 25% annual electricity use at the soup maker’s facility, to be purchased under a 15-year agreement.
The biogas power plant will be constructed directly across the Campbell site in Harrison Township and will cover over seven acres with a capacity to convert 450t of mixed waste organic material a day.
Construction of Napoleon Biogas, currently underway, is expected complete in 2013.
