What is Anaerobic Digestion (AD)?

Anaerobic Digestion is simply the controlled breakdown of organic matter without air, used to manage waste and/or to release energy. It is a biological process that produces an energy-rich biogas, principally composed of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be used as a fuel.

Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion

The benefits of AD are:

• Captures 100% of the harmful greenhouse gas emissions from organic waste
• Reduces odor
• Produces renewable energy
• Produces nutrient rich compost and other valuable soil amendments
• Processes concentrated liquid waste to significantly reduce BOD
