WSU launches webinar series about anaerobic digesters
Washington State University’s Energy Program is hosting a five-part Anaerobic Digester Webinar Series that takes place throughout the summer and fall.
The webinar series is designed to support the development and operation of dairy farm anaerobic digesters in Washington state.
The first webinar July 7 is a presentation about the role anaerobic digesters play in greenhouse gas emissions reduction and how carbon credit markets can influence project economics.
The webinar July 21 focuses on utility interconnections, power markets and impact on digester design and operation.
Further webinars take place throughout September and October. Click here for more information.
“When researchers have looked at where dairy farms can contribute the most emissions reduction per dollar invested in the near term, dairy digesters keep rising to the top. This series is about making sure Washington’s producers and developers have access to people who can share accurate and up-to-date information about what works, what doesn’t, and where the opportunities are,” said Georgine Yorgey, WSU Energy Program director said in a press release.
The Dairy Digester Technical Assistance Program is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act via the Washington Department of Commerce.
