Research presented in this webinar was support by a grant from the New York Farm Viability Institute.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy manure in New York and many other regions has grown substantially in the last five years, yet this has primarily been at dairies with more than 2,500 cows. The questions around scaling down AD have shifted from the technically feasible to the economically feasible.
This webinar How small can co-digestion economically go will highlight the findings of PRO-DAIRY's investigation of the economic feasibility of smaller-scale dairy manure and food waste co-digestion to energy systems that could be located in NY. Energy generation type and values and scenarios of food waste receiving tip fees that impact project revenue will be discussed. Dairy farmers, their advisors, and agency representatives are welcome to join.
