A company seeking to build a controversial carbon fertilizer plant in Moreau said new PFAS regulations from the Environmental Protection Administration support how it does business.

Saratoga Biochar Solutions said the EPA’s own study on treating PFAs uses similar thermal treatment technologies as the company.

It went on to say that treatment resulted in no PFAs detected in output or emissions.
Saratoga Biochar explained the Capital Region would benefit immediately by replacing Albany’s two aging biosolids incinerators with its technology.

The town of Moreau has resisted plans to build a new plant there, even going as far to enact a construction moratorium.

Residents had voiced concerns about environmental and health dangers.
