The Facility at a Glance

Maryland Bioenergy Center (MBC) is Maryland’s premier organics recycling facility, centrally located in Jessup. Serving food manufacturers, distributors, institutions, and businesses across the region, our advanced anaerobic digestion facility diverts over 110,000 tons of food waste annually from landfills and incinerators.

We convert this organic waste into 340,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas each year, enough energy to power over 7,600 homes. In doing so, we reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking more than 12,500 gasoline-powered cars off the road annually, while also producing nutrient-rich digestate for agriculture and landscaping.

This results in an average partner savings of $50 per ton in disposal fees, making recycling food waste at MBC both a financial and environmental win.

A Sustainable Solution

Our closed-loop anaerobic digestion process transforms source-separated organics, packaged food waste, and food processing residuals into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas. This sustainable energy source integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, supporting local energy independence and security.

The anaerobic digestion process also produces a nutrient-rich soil amendment, offering an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers for agriculture and land restoration. By prioritizing landfill diversion and odor control through advanced technology, we help our communities reduce pollution, preserve air and water quality, and promote long-term environmental stewardship.
