To say that biogas technologies are gaining momentum may be an understatement - who wouldn't be interested in generating energy from 'throw-aways' - never mind the environmental benefits like greenhouse gas mitigation, pathogen elimination, etc.

Considering the many different things we throw away [manures from livestock operations, residuals from the food industry like cereal husks, leftovers and 'spoils' from the beverage and bakery industry, etc., etc., etc.], about 60 percent of which is organic and could be processed to energy, fertilizer and sequestered carbon reducing the carbon dioxide [CO2] in the atmosphere; it stands to reason that there should be optimum technologies for each one of these things we 'throw away'. - to that end we would like to invite technology suppliers to provide us with designs 'tailored' for specific waste streams for publication - you may submit from any geographic location but one condition does apply - source and history of the designs has to be made available upon request. - looking forward to submissions
