Convergen Energy is a renewable energy company that converts industrial by-products into sustainable fuels for power generation. It provides landfill-avoidance solutions and operates clean power facilities for industrial and utility clients.
Convergen Energy, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a clean power operator that specializes in converting diverse industrial by-products and agricultural residues into engineered renewable fuel pellets. The company’s manufacturing facility has a capacity of 150,000 tons per year, producing pellets that provide performance qualities similar to coal but with significantly reduced emissions. Beyond fuel production, the company provides zero-landfill consultancy, sustainability management services, and invests in, owns, or operates power and steam generation facilities to support its customers' transition to renewable energy sources.
By diverting non-recyclable materials such as paper, plastics, and nonwovens from landfills, the company enables universities, utilities, and manufacturers to reduce their fossil fuel consumption, lower carbon footprints, and achieve regulatory compliance. Convergen Energy works with sustainability managers to integrate these renewable solutions into existing boiler systems or provides alternative energy generation. The company, which is a NianticVista Energy company, has helped divert over 450,000 tons of by-products from landfills since its inception in 2009.
