Cedar Creek Renewables, LLC (CCR) is a renewable natural gas (RNG) development company dedicated to transforming organic waste into valuable energy and co-products. The company focuses on the swine manure marketplace, beginning with a community anaerobic digester project in the Hedrick, IA area. This initiative provides sustainable waste management solutions for local family farms in Southeast Iowa.
CCR's innovative process extends beyond RNG production to maximize resource recovery from the waste stream. The company produces a range of beneficial co-products, including high-quality fertilizers, biochar, soil amendment products, and clean water. By converting organic waste into these resources, Cedar Creek Renewables significantly reduces overall waste, fostering a circular economy within the agricultural sector.
The company's operations deliver substantial environmental and economic benefits to both local communities and agricultural producers. For communities, this translates into reduced environmental odors from swine facilities through consistent manure pumping and the application of dry, solid material, minimizing post-application odor and nitrogen runoff. Furthermore, it lessens agricultural traffic on local roads and substantially decreases greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane and CO2, contributing to a cleaner environment. Economically, CCR generates living-wage jobs, creates business opportunities, and enhances the local tax base for schools and community projects.
For producers, Cedar Creek Renewables offers a new and consistent revenue stream tied to commercial nutrient markets (N, P, K), effectively converting a major farm expense into income. The service also streamlines manure management, reducing logistical burdens and minimizing the need for expensive equipment, application, and labor. Additionally, improved animal health is observed due to a significant reduction of free ammonia and other off-gases from manure pits, enabling farmers to embrace a greener, more profitable future while promoting sustainable agricultural practices for generations.
