New Green Facility Takes Root in Floyd County

In an exciting development for Floyd County, Georgia, Synthica Energy has announced the appointment of Clark Water as the construction manager for a groundbreaking new facility on West Hermitage Road. This state-of-the-art facility, which will focus on anaerobic digestion, is set to transform organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG), paving the way for a greener future.

Breaking Ground for Future Sustainability

The construction kicked off officially in October 2024, marking a significant milestone for sustainable energy operations in the region. The facility is expected to reach operational status in 2026, providing a robust solution to waste management while promoting renewable energy.

A Logistics Marvel

This ambitious project is projected to divert nearly 250,000 tons of organic waste from local landfills and sewers annually, thus greatly contributing to environmental preservation. The initial investment for the facility was estimated at $38.25 million, but costs may balloon to approximately $68.25 million as the project progresses. Such financial commitments reflect its significant importance to both Synthica Energy and the community.

Job Creation and Local Impact

The facility is expected to create 19 jobs, with an impressive average pay of $43 per hour. This local employment boost exemplifies the dual benefits of this project: fostering economic growth while prioritizing environmental sustainability. In addition to job creation, the new facility will utilize a 10-acre site, making use of advanced technologies and systems aimed at minimizing waste.

Advanced Technologies at Work

Designed to be a leader in waste processing, the facility will incorporate advanced anaerobic digestion technologies. This forward-thinking design will include state-of-the-art waste preprocessing and depackaging systems, alongside advanced odor controls and an on-site wastewater pretreatment system. These features ensure that the facility operates efficiently and responsibly, solidifying its role in the community’s sustainability efforts.

A Partnership for Success

Synthica Energy is actively collaborating with manufacturers and distributors across the metro Atlanta area to secure contracts for a variety of organic waste feedstocks. Such feedstocks include food and beverage manufacturing byproducts, expired or damaged produce, spent yeast, and repackaged beverage products. This streamlined approach will not only benefit Synthica but also create a circular economy within the local ecosystem.

Fueling the Future

The RNG produced at the facility will be injected into existing pipeline infrastructure, ready to be distributed to customers seeking sustainable energy options. This process underscores Synthica Energy’s commitment to offering environmentally responsible solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions while promoting a cleaner planet.

Community First: Building a Cleaner Future

The establishment of this facility symbolizes a significant step for both Synthica Energy and the Floyd County community. Not only does it provide a pioneering waste management solution, but it also aligns with the broader mission to build a cleaner, more sustainable future. With Clark Water already having poured the concrete foundation pad, the excitement around this project continues to grow.

A Bright Future Ahead

The Floyd County facility stands as only one of three similar operations being developed by Synthica Energy, with others planned for Cincinnati, Ohio, and San Antonio, Texas. Each location plays a role in a broader vision aimed at leveraging innovative technologies for waste management while creating renewable energy and job opportunities, marking a paradigm shift in how communities engage with their waste.
