Case Study
Wayne-Sanderson Farms — Southeast US
Multi-site biogas capture and methane destruction program across Wayne-Sanderson poultry operations.
The Challenge
Problem
Wayne-Sanderson needed a scalable methane management solution across multiple poultry processing and grow-out facilities in the Southeast, with buyers including Chick-fil-A, Kroger, and Walmart requiring verified sustainability metrics. Each site had different lagoon configurations, local permitting requirements, and carbon credit verification needs that demanded a programmatic rather than one-off approach.
Our Approach
Solution
EFI designed and installed covered lagoon systems with biogas capture and destruction across multiple Wayne-Sanderson facilities, with standardized monitoring and carbon credit verification for supply chain sustainability reporting. The program used a modular deployment model — standardized equipment packages customized for each site's lagoon geometry — cutting per-site engineering costs by 30%.
Outcomes
Results & Metrics
Key Outcomes
- Multi-site deployment across Southeast
- Carbon credits verified for supply chain buyers
- Projected 28% IRR across portfolio
- Supports Chick-fil-A, Kroger, Walmart sustainability requirements
- 30% reduction in per-site engineering costs through standardization
- Unified monitoring dashboard across all sites
“Having a single partner who could standardize our methane program across multiple sites saved us months of procurement and engineering time. Our retail partners now have the verified data they need.”
