About Homeland Renewable Energy
Simon Fraser and his son Rupert Fraser pioneered the production of energy from poultry litter in the United Kingdom and successfully designed and built the world's first three poultry litter-fueled power plants in the 1990s. In 2003, the Frasers sold the British plants and co-founded HRE with Jack Clarke. HRE acts as a holding company for the Fibrowatt group and brings its technology to the wider U.S. market.
In 2007, HRE began commercial operation of Fibrominn, a 55-megawatt poultry litter-fueled power plant in Benson, Minnesota. HRE is working on a number of other projects in Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, and North Carolina. Future projects are also planned for Alabama, Texas, and other states.
