Expertise
Agricultural Waste Management

As energy costs and environmental concerns continue to rise, many agricultural operations are exploring the tremendous energy potential of the anaerobic digestion of animal manure and other energy-laden substrates. Anaerobic digestion offers the ability to generate and capture biogas to produce electricity and heat, thereby reducing energy consumption and methane emissions. In addition, anaerobic digestion can provide significant odor reduction and be eligible for environmental credits.
