The article discusses a grant given by the USEPA Region 9 (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) to the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) in Oakland, California, to investigate food waste digestion. The project is demonstrating that one hundred tons of anaerobically-digested food waste...
We develop small-scale modular anaerobic digesters built inside containers to enable you to transform your own food waste on-site into green energy and value.
The researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of supply chain logistics to determine if a system of converting food waste into energy and other bioproducts would be profitable in Illinois. First, they used geospatial data to identify potential sites. Next, they analyzed technological and economic ...
Recent researchinto the environmental sustainability of anaerobic digestion of household food waste found that 1 ton of food waste in landfill produces 193kg CO₂-equivalents. On the flip side, producing renewable energy via anaerobic digestion offsets 39kg CO₂-equivalents per ton of food waste...
Extraordinary amounts of energy, water and capital are put into food systems throughout the world—and far too much of that is wasted. Globally, an estimated one-third of all the food that’s produced ends up in landfills; and in Canada it’s even worse, with approximately 58 per cent ...
Known commonly as the “Muffin Monster,” this customized industrial grinder at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is used to shred biomass, including food waste, to create a slurry that can be pumped into a reactor that converts it to energy-rich biofuel that could be used in fuel blends ...
“I can convert food waste to plastic,” Wang said. “These two individual, separate problems can be addressed in this one technology, all together.” Having already completed lab-scale studies of bioplastic production at Virginia Tech for the U.S. Department of Energy, Wang is now tasked ...
Exploration concerning the utilization of straw in developing clean energy is also underway. "We use gasifiers to transform the agricultural wastes, such as rice husk, fruit shell, and crop straw, into biomass gas, which can generate electricity," said Lu Wanbao at the expo, who is the vice...

Made from organic waste, renewable natural gas (RNG) is rapidly gaining ground as an alternative fuel source with the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Public and private interest in this low-carbonfuelthat turns waste into energy has grown dramatically in recent years, sai...
