Kansas company to build new biogas plant

US company BioStar Systems is to build a new biogas production plant in Pettis County, Missouri.

Kansas-based BioStar converts agricultural manure into energy and fertiliser, with fuel production facilities located around the US.

The company plans to spend around $60 million (€40 million) on the new plant, which will be partnered with local poultry farm, Rose Acres, to create a new regional source for renewable energy.

If criteria for job creation and investment are met, BioStar could receive up to $1.5 million in incentives as a result of the project.
