Greenhouse Gas to Energy: Capturing Emissions, Producing Clean Fuels
How methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, can be utilized for the production of biogas is a recurrent topic at the EBW Conference. Methane is a component of livestock manure and of landfill gas, a natural by-product of the decomposition of solid waste. Brandon Moffat of Conestoga-Rovers & Associates is among the conference speakers. He presents the feasibility study of a renewable energy facility in
According to a count by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there are over 100 anaerobic digesters in operation in the
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) supports the advancement of conventional and emerging biogas conversion technologies, including anaerobic digestion. At the EBW Expo & Conference, two EPA programs are presented on the show floor and the conference agenda: The AgSTAR Program is a voluntary effort jointly sponsored by the U.S. EPA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Energy. It encourages the use of methane recovery (biogas) technologies at the confined animal feeding operations that manage manure as liquids or slurries. The U.S. EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP) is a voluntary assistance and partnership program that promotes the use of landfill gas as a renewable, green energy source. The technologies supported by both programs reduce methane emissions and produce energy while achieving other environmental benefits.
The 'energy from biomass and waste' (EBW) Expo & Conference will premiere on September 25-27, 2007 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA. EBW's mission is to educate all relevant stakeholders about the ecological and economical benefits of clean energy, and to create an international marketplace for bioenergy and energy-from-waste technologies in Pennsylvania. EBW 2007 is sponsored by: Allied Waste Industries, Inc.; Ben Franklin Technology Partners; Biomass Magazine; Green Power, Inc.; Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc.; Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy of the State of North-Rhine Westphalia (Germany); Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection; The Pennsylvania State University; Robert James Sales, Inc.; TowPath Renewables; U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. Department of Energy; and West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund, Inc.
In 2008, the EBW Expo & Conference returns to
