IRVING, Texas, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Darling Ingredients
Inc. (NYSE: DAR), the world's leading company turning food waste
into sustainable products and producer of renewable energy, today
announced that it plans to reduce emissions from its wastewater
treatment plants at some of its rendering facilities by capturing
biogas and converting it to renewable natural gas (RNG) in
partnership with GreenGasUSA.
The initial plan is to start with five Darling Ingredients
plants in the United States with
the opportunity to expand to other facilities depending on
feasibility and market conditions.
"Darling continues to find value where others see waste," said
Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and CEO.
"By combining our deep knowledge of RNG from our position in
Europe with the capabilities of
GreenGas in the U.S., Darling can significantly decrease its
greenhouse gas emissions and help develop a successful RNG business
in the U.S."

agreement with Darling Ingredients. It is our mission at GreenGas
to help businesses reduce their environmental impact by providing

and food waste into a valuable renewable energy product."
