Wayland Circularity Center

About the project

The Wayland Circularity Center in Wayland, Michigan, includes building a new anaerobic digester on Crossroads Farms in Allegan County. The manure from this farm will produce renewable natural gas each year. After the center is complete, the biogas generated by this manure will be captured, cleaned, and converted into RNG. Bridgewater is part of the third tranche of projects developed under the Brightmark RNG Holdings LLC joint venture with Chevron U.S.A. Inc. The center is expected to be completed in 2024.

Project benefits

GHG REDUCTIONS

Annually, this project reduces an average of over 18,000 tons of CO2eq. That is equivalent to more than 21,000 acres of forest per year.

RESOURCE RECOVERY

The process of recovering and processing manure from the farms will prevent excess emissions from escaping into the local air and water.

WASTE TO NEW PRODUCTS

The center will generate renewable natural gas every year. Other renewable products generated by the center include fertilizer.

“Crossroads Dairy is the next farm to be joining the anaerobic digestion projects in partnership with Brightmark and Chevron, which is a testament to the value we’re looking forward to from the first project in Ravenna. This technology is great for meeting our sustainability goals while providing an additional revenue stream for the farm.”

– Crossroads Farm Manager Ryan Steendam
