Are you interested in exploring whether a manure and food waste co-digestion enterprise might be feasible at your dairy? This PRO-DAIRY webinar will present the economic feasibility of two scenarios of anaerobic co-digestion on a case dairy farm located in Northern New York.

• Scenario 1: addition of food waste (20% by volume) to an existing manure anaerobic digester to electricity system.
• Scenario 2: new construction anaerobic digester to renewable natural gas (RNG) system taking in food waste (up to 50% by volume) with manure.

Food waste sources and tipping fees, biogas generation and utilization for energy, and digested effluent storage and nutrient management planning are described. A question and answer session is included.
