In the U.S. alone, anaerobic digesters could power 2.5 million homes a year if 50% of food waste was used as a feedstock. And anaerobic digestion projects recently received a boost from an EPA ruling allowing biogasderived compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to qualify as an advanced cellulosic biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Despite these prospects, substantial challenges and hurdles remain. Attend the Waste to Biogas & Clean Fuels Finance & Investment Summit, organized by Infocast, Inc., and meet key players from the entire value chain network on how to finance & develop waste conversion projects: Federal, State, and Industry policy-makers discuss the available incentives, grants, and opportunities driving the market Municipalities, Cities, and Counties share waste conversion lessons learned and implications for future projects Utilities and Offtakers provide their perspectives on acquiring energy from waste and contracting needs Financiers and Developers share their perspectives and needs in financing the next generation of waste conversion projects read more
