Methane Digester- It is up and Running!

December 2023- Since early fall of 2023 the methane digester has been up and running! Currently we are shipping out about two truck loads a week of natural gas to New York. Eventually it will be piped underground directly into the CT natural gas supply. Stay tuned for more updates!

ELLINGTON — Officials with Oakridge Dairy, the town, and contractors broke ground Tuesday November 2, 2021 at the 131-year old farm on Jobs Hill Road for an anaerobic digester that’s expected to reduce the pervasive odor of manure.

Expected to be operational by September 2022, the anaerobic digester will capture raw methane and other greenhouse gases produced by manure. The project will also include constructing additional equipment to transform the collected biogas into commercial-grade, pipeline-quality renewable natural gas that will be integrated into the distribution system of SJI’s subsidiary, Elizabethtown Gas.
