Community Anaerobic Digesters

Community anaerobic digesters are centralized systems that process organic waste—like food scraps and agricultural leftovers—in an oxygen-free environment. Microorganisms break down the waste, producing biogas (mainly methane) that can be used for energy and a nutrient-rich digestate that can serve as fertilizer. These systems help reduce waste in landfills, generate renewable energy, and promote sustainable waste management at a community level. They are scalable, environmentally friendly, and support local efforts to lower carbon emissions while efficiently recycling organic materials.
