Wasted Food to Energy: How Six Water Resource Recovery Facilities are Boosting Biogas Production and the Bottom Line
Codigestion is helping water resource recovery facilities become energy neutral or, even, energy positive. The webcast will present details about installing energy efficiency measures and adding outside organic wastes. Hear about codigestion practices and experiences from six facilities interviewed in EPA’s Wasted Food to Energy paper. The types of food waste codigested, partnerships formed, as well as the strategies to manage biogas and biosolids and justify the investment also will be discussed.
