Food waste accounts for a large portion of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Local, state, national and international initiatives have been launched to reduce its overall impact. One solution for food processors is the use of anaerobic digestion assisted with a Microbial Energy Device to produce renewable natural gas (RNG); compared to other organic feedstocks, food waste yields the most RNG output per ton-of-waste. Food waste can also play a key role in supporting a company’s sustainability goals by using the Renewable Natural Gas for cooking, pasteurizing, and canning of your products.
