Dairy Operations: Converting Organic Waste into Renewable Energy — Efficiently and Sustainably
Sagepoint Energy partners with local dairy farms to convert agricultural waste into renewable natural gas (RNG). Our dairy RNG projects efficiently collect, transport, and transform waste, also producing valuable by-products like clean water and fiber bedding—supporting both sustainability and farm operations.
Dairy RNG Solutions With Long-Term Value
For dairy farm owners, managing manure is both a financial and operational challenge. By converting manure into renewable natural gas (RNG) and animal bedding, farm owners can turn a costly waste product into a valuable revenue stream.
This process helps farmers reduce application costs and improve nutrient management by returning essential nutrients to the soil, which supports soil health and long-term farm productivity. It also reduces manure odors and enables farmers to operate more sustainably, ultimately lowering their carbon footprint.

“Wiese Brothers Farm has been partnering with BC Organics for the past few years. Wiese Brothers is bedding our cattle with the dried fiber from BCO. We are happy with how consistently dry the bedding is and are able to achieve extremely high quality milk with this bedding.”
