OUR ENVIRONMENT
Minimizing negative environmental impacts is the driving force behind SymbiosysTM. Through the design that locates and integrates multiple systems on one campus, SymbiosysTM significantly reduces the emissions that are commonly found in both conventional ethanol and beef finishing facilities.
The table below shows the percent reduction in air emissions comparing SymbiosysTM to conventional technology of the same size. While these air emissions estimates are for comparison purposes only and are subject to further revision, they are an indication of the significant environmental benefits of the system.

KEY
- PM : Particulate Matter
- PM10 : Particulate Matter under 10 micrometers in diameter
- SO2 : Sulfur Dioxide
- NOx : Nitrogen Oxides
- CO : Carbon Monoxide
- VOC : Volatile Organic Compounds
- H2S : Hydrogen Sulfide
Belmont Bio-Ag is continuing to look for ways to further reduce the air pollution impacts of the SymbiosysTM design and will be updating the website as additional work is complete.
