Trenton Renewables

Trenton Renewables (Trenton Renewable Power, LLC) is a food waste recycling and renewable energy company located in Trenton, N.J. Trenton Renewables operates the Trenton Biogas facility (‘the facility,’ owned by Trenton Biogas, LLC) and employs Biogas Operations, LLC as a sub-contracted O&M provider.

Trenton Renewables partners with cities and businesses of all sizes to recycle food waste into premium compost, organic fertilizer and renewable biogas. The compost and fertilizer are sent to local farms and the biogas is used on-site to produce electricity that powers the facility and contributes renewable energy to the grid when it’s needed most.

Each year, the facility has the capacity to save 110,000 tons of organic material from being trapped in landfills or burned. This material is recycled into 27,000 MWh of renewable energy and 23,000 tons of organic compost, all while reducing carbon emissions as much as having 32,000 fewer cars on the road. Packaging, such as glass, metal and plastic, is automatically recaptured and recycled. At full capacity, Trenton Renewables saves their partners over $5 million per year in lower tipping fees, saved time and conserved fuel.

Our flagship facility, Trenton Biogas, began operations in 2019 and uses a novel combination of proven and state-of-the-art technologies to make anaerobic digestion more cost-effective, sustainable, and flexible than ever before.
