Vanguard Renewables
About
Vanguard Renewables is a Weston-based company that turns organic waste into renewable energy through anaerobic digestion facilities on U.S. dairy farms. Its digesters take in waste from food and beverage manufacturing along with farm waste, capturing methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. The process produces pipeline-ready renewable natural gas, diverts organic waste from landfills and incineration, and offsets carbon emissions at scale.
The company was founded in 2014 with three goals: produce renewable energy, sustain farms for future generations and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It builds networks of farmers, waste generators and clean energy buyers into a circular waste management system, and it creates tailored programs for food producers, farmers, utilities and sustainability-driven businesses. Its stated mission is to change the way the world views waste and how people power their lives.
