This webinar provides an overview of manure to energy processes ranging from biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion, to some of the more innovative thermo-chemical processes, such as gasification and pyrolysis.
There has been a long history of using animal manures as a fuel and an energy source. Livestock operations are getting larger and, in many cases, concentrating in certain areas of the country. Even though this has presented itself with many challenges, such as finding adequate land to economically apply animal manures, it has also created opportunities, such as manure to energy projects. The emphasis of the discussion is on the potential natural resource conservation opportunities these technologies present and how these processes can help address some of the challenges associated with concentrated livestock operations.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
