Supplying the US agriculture sector with advanced anaerobic digestion solutions

With some US States actively increasing the number of initiatives and policies banning or limiting how much waste can be sent to landfill, the move towards biogas energy recycling is gaining momentum. This transition seems to be underpinned by official Federal target setting, such as the 50% food and waste reduction goal to be achieved by 2030, which was announced by the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture in 2015. Some analysts now even suggest that biogas bioenergy could make a significant contribution to achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and also help nations hit their emissions targets under the Paris climate agreement.

The US biogas industry, according to the American Biogas Council, currently has more than 2,200 dedicated digester sites producing biogas, including:

• 250 anaerobic digesters on farms
• 1,269 water resource recovery facilities using an anaerobic digester (860 currently use the biogas they produce)
• 66 standalone systems that digest food waste
• 652 landfill gas projects

Europe meanwhile has more than 10,000 anaerobic digesters, and some communities there enjoy clean, fossil-free fuel as a result.
