Hog Waste to Energy Prototype Project in North Carolina

Pig waste to energy 
Durham, North Carolina based Duke University, and Duke Energy, a U.S. based energy supplier are to join forces for a pilot project that seeks to turn hog waste into energy.

A prototype system is being built at the Loyd Ray Farms near Yadkinville, N.C. Ground for the project was broken Sept. 27, and the project is expected to be online by February 2011.

Project backers hope the system will serve as a model for other hog farm operators.
