KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 6, 2024) – Hallmark and BioStar Renewables broke ground Wednesday, May 1, on a new three-acre solar farm in Lawrence, Kansas. The solar farm will be comprised of 1,785 solar panels located near the Lawrence Loop, the city’s hike-and-bike trail. Caring for the planet through sustainable business practices is a longstanding commitment for Hallmark. Hallmark’s commitment continues today with efforts to lessen its impact on the planet, specifically, regarding the climate. “Hallmark has committed to achieving a science-based target by lowering our greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning global facilities to renewable electricity, such as solar or wind power, by 2030,” said Kristin Edie, vice president enterprise sustainability at Hallmark. “In addition to using renewable electricity at our facilities, we are also working with our suppliers to transition to renewable electricity.” Hallmark has planted a pollinator garden along the trail near the solar farm, which has been certified as a Monarch Waystation. There are plans to add educational signs along the Lawrence Loop near the solar farm to educate the community about solar energy. …

The City of Norman & BioStar Renewables have achieved interconnection and are producing renewable electricity at the city’s new solar project which serves the Vernon Campbell Water Treatment Plant and Water Reclamation Facility in Norman, Oklahoma. The 2.27 MW solar project is expected to produce more than 3,000,000 kWh of electricity each year and will displace over 2,126 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions per year, the equivalent of providing 438 homes with electricity or 271,000 gallons of gasoline consumed for an entire year. The clean energy generated by the solar arrays will reduce the annual kWh required from the local utility company by approximately 30%. BioStar developed the project, as well as providing the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services, as well as ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) services. E Light Electric partnered with BioStar and played a pivotal role in delivering the project. Implementation of these solar arrays will set the city on a path toward achieving their Net-Zero Carbon goal across city buildings, and marks the beginning of a transition to more…

Turning Food Waste Into Renewable Energy California’s SB 1383 is a bill that requires a 75% reduction (up to 27 million tons) in Organic Landfill Waste by 2025. Enforcement of the new law started in 2022, meaning municipalities and waste haulers started facing fines for landfilling organic waste earlier this year. This is where BioStar comes in. Using anaerobic digestion, the San Bernardino Waste-to-Energy project converts pre-consumer food waste into renewable resources that not only diminish solid landfill waste, but reduce organizations’ carbon footprint, and help achieve increasing sustainability goals. Recovered resources such as clean industrial water, organic liquid fertilizer, biogas and electricity will aid in meeting California’s requirements. BioStar’s patented backend process creates nutrient-rich, carbon-based, organic, food-grade fertilizer, all while generating renewable power, which is delivered to the Southern California Edison power grid via a utility interconnection. Diverted waste results in significant cost savings and reduced tipping fees for haulers, food waste generators and municipalities. BioStar Renewables manages and facilitates all aspects of the process – from collection and pre-processing to…
