Waste Treatment Benefits
- Natural waste treatment process
- Mature technology
- Smaller physical footprint (vs. composting)
- Reduces volume of waste for transport, land application, (vs. not using digestion)
- Very efficient decomposition
- Complete biogas capture
- Nutrient recovery and recycling
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Environmental Benefits
- Dramatic odor reduction
- Reduced pathogen levels
- Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
- Platform for reducing nutrient runoff
- Increased crop yield

Economic Benefits
- Jobs (temporary / construction and permanent)
- Turns cost item (i.e., waste treatment) into revenue-generating opportunity
- Can operate in conjunction with composting operations
- Improves rural infrastructure and diversifies rural income streams

Energy Benefits
- Energy Benefits
- multiple existing biogas end- use applications, including:
- heat-only
- electric-only
- combined heat and power
- pipeline quality biomethane
- transportation fuel
- baseload / dispatchable energy source (vs. intermittent wind and solar)
- Distributed generation (which means lower transmission / transportation costs and higher reliability)
- Direct replacement for non-renewable fossil fuels
