High Solids Anaerobic Digestion
Our process uses anaerobic digestion to biodegrade high solids organic waste such as yard debris and food waste. The technology is remarkably simple: naturally occurring microorganisms break down the waste into methane and carbon dioxide – also known as “biogas” – which is captured in gas-tight enclosures. The biogas can be combusted to produce renewable electricity, cleaned to pipeline natural gas standards, or further processed into compressed natural gas (CNG).
