Energy costs are a significant input for swine operations and prices are increasing annually. New state incentive programs for waste management systems may make renewable energy generators like bio-digesters a viable option for many pork producers in North Carolina. And, the emerging carbon credit market can provide additional income for producers and hedge against future energy price increases.
Pork producers and industry participants are invited to learn more about these opportunities at an informational meeting hosted by Farmergy, EcoSecurities and Environmental Fabrics Inc.
WHAT:
Educational meeting and light dinner to provide information on energy generation opportunities for North Carolina producers
