Adirondack Farms Announces Agreement with Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. to Convert Dairy Manure to Renewable Natural Gas

Suburban Propane News Release 

Click here for Video from the Announcement; Click here for Photos

Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SPH), a nationwide distributor of propane, renewable propane and related products and services, as well as a marketer of natural gas and electricity and investor in low carbon fuel alternatives, today announced an agreement to construct, own and operate a new biodigester system with Adirondack Farms, a family dairy farm located in Clinton County, New York for the production of renewable natural gas (“RNG”).  This project further expands the portfolio of clean energy investments under the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Suburban Renewable Energy, LLC (“Suburban Renewables“), which was formed in March 2022 to support the Partnership’s strategic goal of building a renewable energy platform.

RNG will be produced by taking the manure from dairy cows at Adirondack Farms and processing it through a digester.  Through the process of anaerobic digestion, microorganisms inside the digester will break down the organic material, converting it into RNG and a nutrient-rich material, also known as digestate. RNG will then be delivered to the natural gas distribution system, and the nutrient-rich digestate material will be used by the farm. The digestate is separated further, providing Adirondack Farms with dry, soft materials that is used for cow bedding, and a natural fertilizer that is used in the fields to grow feed for the cows.

PUBLIC READING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

A reenactment of the public reading of the Declaration of Independence will be presented by the Valcour Battle Chapter Sons of the American Revolution, on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at 10 AM at Veterans Park on the US Oval. The highlight of the event will be John Krueger’s portrayal of the reading of the Declaration.
The program will last about an hour and attendees are encouraged to bring their own seating. The event is free and will be held rain or shine. All ages are invited to join this commemoration of the 246th anniversary of America’s birth as a nation.
“We are proud to bring this patriotic event to the community and enjoy doing it,” remarked Craig Russell, President of the Valcour Battle Chapter. “Celebrating the resolution to declare independence was exactly what John Adams had in mind when he wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 ‘will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival…’” The Declaration of Independence, formally justifying the break with Great Britain, was adopted two days later on July 4th. Over the next weeks, the Declaration was read in many communities throughout the states, delivering the news of independence to the American people.
The SAR is a non-profit, historical, educational, and patriotic organization. The local chapter, based in Plattsburgh, encompasses Clinton, Essex, and Franklin counties. The SAR supports excellence in teaching American history, participates in patriotic observances and supports research and preservation of historic materials relating to the men and women who fought or gave service for independence in the American Revolutionary War. The Valcour Battle Chapter also honors the graves of the Revolutionary War soldiers and patriots in conjunction with the Wreaths Across America program.
If you have questions or need further information about the event, contact Bud Smith at 518-578-5594 or cheman207@yahoo.com
