Co-Digesting Food Waste With Wastewater Solids To Produce Energy
By Rashi Gupta
Inspired in part by California’s Senate Bill 1383, which was enacted to reduce organic waste and methane emissions, co-digestion is fulfilling those goals while converting wastewater treatment plants into water resource recovery facilities.
With each passing year, the effects of climate change become harder to ignore.
