Kroger has commissioned a 2G avus 600 kW Combined Heat & Power (CHP) project in Greensburg Indiana, located at Kroger company's K.B. Specialty Foods. Recently, Kroger announced a Zero Hunger | Zero Waste social impact plan that this project supports. The goal is to end hunger in communities Kroger serves and eliminate waste in their company by 2025.

The K.B. Specialty Foods employs over 270 associates and has been a Zero Waste Facility since 2014. In that time, they have diverted more than 90% of the waste produced from going to landfill each year.

Along with a 2G avus 600 kW, an addition of an anaerobic digester was also installed. This new system replaced a conventional wastewater treatment system and features a dome that captures biogas. The CHP system takes the food by-product and works together with the digester to convert it into energy.
