The SEAL Awards recognizes 50 companies each year. Bioenergy Devco received the Environmental Initiatives Award for its organics recycling facility in Jessup, Maryland. This facility uses anaerobic digestion to convert 120,000 tons of food waste annually into renewable natural gas (RNG) and nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Bioenergy Devco says it redirects more than 120,000 tons of organic waste from landfills yearly and mitigates emissions equivalent to more than 69,000 acres of forest. The facility produces around 340,000 one million British thermal units of renewable gas to power approximately 7,500 homes and generates 16,575 tons of soil amendment for agriculture.

“’Integration’ and ‘impact’ are the watchwords of the 2024 SEAL Sustainability Awards,” says Matt Harney, chairperson and founder of SEAL Awards. “This year, we've seen an impressive synthesis of technology, design and innovation combined to drive sustainable impact. Alongside the critical need for organizations to dedicate real investment and human capital into ESG [environmental, social and governance], the holistic approach of these award winners is imperative to keep driving progress.”
