Sampson County officials announced yesterday that Montauk Ag Renewables, LLC is opening a facility in the county.
Montauk Ag Renewables, LLC is a subsidiary of Montauk Renewables, Inc., a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: MNTK) that deals with managing, recovering, and converting biogas into RNG.
Montauk Ag Renewables anticipates that it will “utilize its patented technology for the conversion of agricultural residuals into renewable energy,” the press release said.
Sampson County Commissioner Clark Wooten welcomed the company to the region. He said, “Montauk Ag Renewables will complement the strong concentration of agriculture and manufacturing companies in Sampson County and across the region. The county is grateful that Montauk Ag Renewables chose Sampson County as one of their renewable energy facilities across the country.”
Montauk Ag Renewables will be in the former Bay Valley Foods Distribution Center off Highway 24 along with Turkey Creek Ag, LLC. The facility is in Turkey, North Carolina.
Montauk Ag Renewables’ President, Joe Carroll, said, “We are very excited to be working to open a facility in Sampson County and believe it’s a great place for our business to take the next step in our development. We look forward to working with the County, and the great people living there, to offer quality, stable jobs, while working to positively impact the environment.”
The company expects that the process of making the Turkey Creek facility fully operational will take around five years; the company is also expected to create new jobs, hiring 70 new team members, including a variety of salaried positions with benefits.
Steve Yost, President of NC’s Southeast, sees the company has a good fit with the industries in the county and region. He said, “Montauk Ag Renewables aligns well with our growing renewable energy cluster across Southeast, North Carolina. We look forward to supporting Sampson County’s continued economic development successes and promoting our 18-county region as a place of choice to do business.”
