Opportunity with WI Biomass Energy Coalition

From John Holevoet, director of government affairs

Wisconsin dairy farms are the bedrock of the state’s agricultural economy and have a rich history of environmental innovation. Dairy cattle manure is already recognized as a valuable fertilizer, but its potential as a renewable energy source has still not been fully realized. Dairy farmers often do not consider biomass energy investments because of the regulatory and business hurdles they can face.

DBA is proud to announce a new partner in efforts to make digesters and biomass energy investments more appealing in Wisconsin. Wisconsin Biomass Energy Coalition is a non-profit, independent trade association launched in 2019 with a mission to advance policy solutions supporting nutrient management and water quality challenges through renewable natural gas digester facilities. WBEC is not here to sell digesters, but to better understand your needs and help farmers successfully navigate the world of biodigesters.

The Dairy Business Association has joined WBEC to ensure the dairy community has a seat at the table planning the future of renewable energy opportunities in Wisconsin. WBEC believes that dairy farmers have an important story to share and is waiving the $500 annual membership – just for DBA producer members.

Please join the conversation and act today. To learn more or join WBEC, please contact Anne Hauer.
