Capturing ammonia from cattle manure and producing clean sustainable renewable energy and organic fertilizers is the mission of Bion Environmental Technologies. Bion CEO Bill O’Neill said the company is taking the negatives in cattle production and turning them into sustainable, high-value products. “We’re creating solar electricity that we’ll actually use in the facility. We’re collecting bio-gas and marketing that, collecting the ammonia that will be turned into ammonia bicarbonate or just sold as ammonia, as green ammonia for transportation fuel. Excess CO2 that is not combined with the ammonia, we collect and we can sell that and turn that into a food grade CO2 that is highly marketable.” Bion’s closed production system also allows full traceability for the beef produced. Listen to the full interview. Bion is working with Dakota Valley Growers at Bathgate, North Dakota on a sustainable beef project.
