CLINTON, Maine (AP) — A natural gas distribution company in Maine plans to get into the production side of things with a poop-to-gas renewable energy project to heat homes.
Summit Utilities is partnering with Maine's dairy industry through construction of an anaerobic digester in Clinton to produce natural gas. Farms will provide the manure.
