In relation to my prevous post, Kevin Robinson-Avila --writer for the New Mexico Business Weekly, wrote an article in the Friday, June 5, 2009 issue entitled:
Passing biogas: R-Qubed project converts cow manure to methane
Avila writes about the $72 million plan by R-Qubed Energy Inc. of El Paso (I am the President) to build one of New Mexico’s first biogas plants, near the towns of Vado and Berino. The plant will convert cow manure from local dairies into methane gas for use at Public Service Co. of New Mexico’s natural gas plants.
The plant also will make fertilizer and compost from manure, and recycle effluent water for re-use on farms. The plant will help dairy operations deal with environmental issues caused by manure piling up on the ground.
