About this Event
The Daniel Island Community Speaker’s Series will resume on Wednesday evening, September 17, from 7:00-8:00 PM in the ballroom at the Daniel Island Club. The speaker will be Marc Fetten who is the Founder and CEO of GreenGasUSA.
GreenGas is transforming how industries capture and convert greenhouse gases into renewable energy.
Farmers work tirelessly to provide us with a reliable and secure food system. But in the process huge amounts of animal waste are created and stored in what become toxic holding ponds. Methane gas escapes from these ponds into the air and seeps into the water table resulting in a challenge to the environment far more serious than the CO2 emitted from our gas-powered cars and trucks. GreenGas USA takes waste products from food processing facilities and transforms them into natural propane gas which is used to create electricity for use by other manufacturing companies. This circular energy technology repurposes waste streams and turns them into renewable energy. In addition to the dairy, cattle, and poultry farming operations, GreenGasUSA is doing the same thing with waste from landfills, restaurants, wastewater, and even Pr*son farm mature.
As a result of all this, farmers now have a new stream of income; environmentally fragile areas are being cleaned up, and manufacturers have another source of energy to choose from. While more expensive than traditional fossil fuel GreenGas customers are turning to its environmentally friendly source of power because it is the right thing to do.
Marc is a serial entrepreneur who likes to solve big problems. Whether you're passionate about innovation, curious about clean tech, or just want to be inspired by our Daniel Island neighbor who is making a difference at a global level, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
