⏮ BeforeGrowing yogurt output produces a large volume of dairy waste.
✅ NowPartnering with PurposeEnergy, the maker of Oikos plans to convert that waste into biogas.

In short

  • The maker of Oikos is partnering with PurposeEnergy on the project.
  • The plan turns 250,000 gallons of dairy waste a day into fuel.
  • The aim is to cut reliance on natural gas as yogurt production grows.

Why the Good News Desk likes this one

Yogurt production is expanding, and so is the leftover dairy waste it creates. Turning that waste into biogas gives the waste a use and reduces reliance on natural gas. The source does not give results yet, so the scale of the benefit remains unclear.
