"This project represents another significant win for South Carolina agriculture, industry, and our environment. It is a demonstration of industries coming together and leading our collective journey into a lower-carbon future while creating economic and environmental benefits for our communities. The renewable energy produced at this project is enough to power the homes of half of the entire workforce working at the Pilgrim's Sumter plant, and is produced from what, until recently, was simply a waste stream."

"Projects like the collaboration between Pilgrim’s Pride and GreenGasUSA at the Sumter facility enable participation from the agricultural sector in the circular economy. I am encouraged that South Carolina has emerged as a hub for partnerships that leverage the expertise and practices of traditional industries – like farming – to produce high-quality renewable energy products."

"Pilgrim's is committed to embedding sustainability in our business. Our partnership with GreenGasUSA in Sumter is a prime example of how Pilgrim's can implement innovative solutions to reduce our GHG footprint and unlock value for our business. Given these efforts, we can strengthen America's food supply and create a better future for our communities where we operate."
