Facility Overview
The Maryland Bioenergy Center (MBC) is a large-scale organics recycling facility located in Jessup, Maryland, serving food manufacturers, distributors, institutions, and commercial waste haulers across the Mid-Atlantic. The facility is designed to process high volumes of source-separated organic waste, including liquid food byproducts, fats, oils and grease (FOG), and bulk food residuals delivered without packaging.
Using advanced anaerobic digestion, MBC converts over 110,000 tons of organic waste each year into approximately 340,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas. This energy is injected into the pipeline and used in place of conventional natural gas, supporting regional energy demand.
By diverting organic waste from landfills and incineration, MBC helps reduce emissions associated with traditional disposal methods—equivalent to removing more than 12,500 gasoline-powered vehicles from the road annually. The process also produces nutrient-rich digestate, which is beneficially used in agriculture and landscaping applications.
Built for continuous operation and consistent intake, the facility supports reliable delivery, efficient unloading, and fully documented material handling, making it a dependable solution for managing commercial organic waste at scale.
Anaerobic Digestion Process
Our closed-loop anaerobic digestion process transforms source-separated organic materials and food processing residuals into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas. This energy source integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, supporting reliable energy production and long-term resource utilization.
The anaerobic digestion process also produces a nutrient-rich soil amendment, offering an effective alternative for agriculture and land restoration. By prioritizing landfill diversion and controlled processing, the facility helps reduce emissions, manage odors, and support improved air and water quality.
Materials delivered to the facility are processed in a controlled, oxygen-free environment where naturally occurring microorganisms break down organic matter. This process enables consistent gas production while supporting stable, efficient operations designed for continuous intake of commercial organic waste streams.
