Podcasts about anaerobic digestion

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Ben Kuethe Oaks, the Vice President and General Manager at Divert, a circular economy company on a mission to prevent food from being wasted through nationwide infrastructure and innovative technologies.  We waste a staggering amount of food here in America—something like 40% of everything we produce.  Meanwhile, there are over 40M food insecure households in America alone and millions more around the world.  Something is not right here!  Ready to dive in? Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and YouTubeor on your favorite podcast platform.I wanted to have Ben on the show to learn more about Divert's inspiring mission and business and to try to understand just how our food economy evolved to such an inefficient situation.  Divert—a company building sustainable business models that prevent waste, provide more for the food insecure, and use food waste as a sustainable fuel—is an inspiring example of the power of using business as a force for good.Tune in to this important episode to learn:  What “circular economy” mean and how Divert is using circular principles to create a whole new kind of capitalistic enterpriseHow we waste such a staggering amount of food in this country and why it's such a huge problem (i.e. food insecurity, rapidly shrinking landfill capacity, methane emissions, and farming economics)What Divert is doing to try to ameliorate the situation and why they are so optimistic they can make a big difference& Much, much moreStay tuned to the end to learn how a usual childhood interest in dairy farming led Ben to his path as a mission-driven business leader focused on the food economy.  If you are interested in learning more about the history behind the evolution of this crazy food wastage situation, check out Ben's Tedx talk.Thank you for tuning in!Connect with Nick Halaris: Nick Halaris website and newletter (sign up!)

The latest figures out today from the insurers NFU Mutual put the cost of rural crime at just under 53 million pounds last year - up from 50 million in 2022. The renewable energy options open to farmers are various, and the one that would seem to be tailor made for agriculture is anaerobic digestion - or AD.This is the process where silage and slurry are processed in a sealed tank to produce gas that is then used as a fuel to power the farm and possibly put energy back into the grid.And according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board - AHDB - 440 farmers got out of dairy between April 2023 and this April.However the total number of dairy cows is about the same - suggesting that the trend towards bigger farms continues - there are now 7,130 dairy farms in England, Scotland and Wales.

Joe MagRaollaigh , Agriculture Correspondent examines the government's new biomethane plan.

If you've ever been near a farm with livestock, you might agree that farm odors can be carried far from the farm itself. Farms often face criticism from nearby residents over the offensive odor of manure. While manure is an unavoidable part of raising livestock, there is one technological innovation that can remove the smell from manure. Anaerobic digesters are a simple concept—instead of leaving manure rotting outside, the digester encloses the manure as bacteria decompose it, keeping the odor in. But could the same technology also deal with food waste and cut carbon emissions? How do Anaerobic Digesters work?Anaerobic Digesters leverage the biology of decomposition to turn organic waste including manure and food scraps into useful products. The digestion process starts with pumping the waste into the digester, an enclosed tank containing microorganisms in the absence of air, hence the term anaerobic. In this digestor, a diverse community of different bacterial types ferment and feed off the waste in tandem with each other. First, bacterial hydrolysis breaks down large complex molecules like cellulose and carbohydrates into simpler forms that other bacteria can use. Acidogenic bacteria produce carbon dioxide, hydrogen, ammonia, and volatile fatty acids that are converted into acetic acid by acetogenic bacteria. Finally methanogenic bacteria take in these products to release methane and carbon dioxide. At the end of the process, the disgestor is left with biogas including methane and carbon dioxide, leftover solids called solid digestate, and leftover liquids called liquid digestate. Owners of digesters can aid these bacterial processes by adding water, heat, and supplemental nutrients, minerals, and pH buffers to keep the right conditions for fermentation. A farmer wanting to install anaerobic digesters will need to choose between many different forms of digesters that can suit different farm types. A major consideration is the solid content of the input waste, also called feedstock, which affects how difficult it is to mix and to heat, both of which keep fermentation going.  If the feedstock is more solid and difficult to mix, then it must be either diluted with water which requires more heat, or used with a digester that can handle more solid material, usually with less mixing. While the decision to install a digestor is a complex one, farmers can enjoy numerous benefits from having one on the farm.Why Choose a Digester?An anaerobic digester can be a source of money from the sale of its valuable products. In addition to trapping odor, digesters also hold biogas, and the deodorized end products, called digestate, all of which can be sold. Solid digestate can be repurposed as bedding for livestock or nutrient-rich soil material. Liquid digestate can be used around the farm as a fertilizer for crops. Biogas is a versatile alternative fuel that can be purified and used for cooking and heating, condensed and used for vehicle fuel, or burned and used as electricity. These products can bring in extra profit for farmers, and even before the digestion takes place, grocery stores and other companies that produce food waste will pay farmers to digest their waste. In addition to the economic incentives to digesters, they are also a climate solution. When food and manure decompose outside or in landfills, they release large quantities of methane into the air. Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas, and though it stays in the atmosphere for a shorter amount of time than carbon dioxide, it traps so much heat that it is 80 times as potent as CO2 over a 20 year period. If methane is captured and burned instead, it turns into CO2, a much less potent greenhouse gas. In this way, burning methane trapped from digesters still releases greenhouse gasses, but these glasses lead to much less warming compared to letting the methane escape into the atmosphere. In addition, burning biogas for energy production gives us a naturally occurring and renewable source of energy, which can help make up for energy demands from switching away from fossil fuels. Biogas can be a promising waste management, energy and climate change solution. Digester DrawbacksThough digesters can provide many benefits to farmers and serve as a valuable climate solution, there are great controversies over promoting them. Dairy farms are often located near environmental justice (EJ) communities, which are disproportionately impacted by pollution and often home to people of color and low income. These communities face the brunt of impacts from dairy farms, including respiratory issues, poor water quality, and air pollution from burning biogas.  Funding dairy farms for producing biogas from manure could extend the lifetimes of dairy farms, prolonging these negative impacts. Industrial agriculture has been criticized for its high environmental impact, and because large industrial farms have the capital to install digesters, opponents argue that funding biogas will benefit industrial farms over small farms. These myriad environmental issues raise questions about if funding biogas made from digesters will lead to more harm to human health in already vulnerable communities. This debate reveals how complex the web of stakeholders in digesters really is, and that presenting biogas as a “silver bullet” oversimplifies the considerations that go into policies around anaerobic digesters. The Future of DigestersIf digesters are so beneficial for farmers, why aren't digesters common practice on farms? One of the biggest barriers is that digesters are extremely expensive to install, and can take a while to pay back for their costs. According to the EPA, a typical anaerobic digester on the farm costs about $1.2 million, and this number varies based on the size of the farm and type of digester. However, there are many avenues for farmers to get funding to be able to afford this technology. The USDA and EPA manage lists of funders and other resources that farmers can refer to. Federal policies also provide assistance with funding, including the recent Inflation Reduction Act, which offers tax reductions for investing in biogas. According to Brett Rienford, who manages a dairy farm with a digester, one key policy yet to be ruled on that could favor biogas producers is the EPA's proposed policy for eRINs (credits produced when qualifying biogas is used to generate renewable electricity).The eRIN policy has to do with tradable credits that are generated by creating or using renewable fuels. Under the EPA's current Renewable Fuel Standard, these credits, called RINs or Renewable Identification Numbers, are generated by liquid biofuel producers. The proposed addition to the standard would allow producers of electric vehicles to generate electric RINs, or eRINs, if they purchased electricity made from biogas. The biogas industry lobbied against this, stating instead that the biogas producers themselves should generate eRINs that they can then sell, similar to liquid biofuel producers under the current rule. Because of this debate, the EPA has deferred a decision till a later date. If modified, the policy could greatly benefit biogas producers and bring in extra income for farmers with digesters. Regardless of the outcome, this policy reveals the complex stakeholders invested in policies surrounding biogas, and the acknowledgement of biogas as a major source of renewable energy.About the guestBrett Reinford is a manager and second generation dairy farmer at Reinford Farms. He helped shift the farm to using an anaerobic digester for manure, and the farm has since expanded to providing solutions for food waste from grocery stores. Reinford Farms is a leader in terms of on-farm anaerobic digesters, and Reinford advocates for the adoption of digesters on farms. Reinford holds a bachelor's degree in business management from Colorado Christian University.  Further ReadingReinford Farms: How We Make PowerEPA: How Does Anaerobic Digestion Work?American Biogas Council: Digester Biology and TypesEPA: Anaerobic System Design and TechnologyResourcesEnvironmental and Energy Study Institute: Biogas Fact SheetEPA: Inflation Reduction Act Biogas ProvisionsEPA: Digester Project Planning and FinancingClimate Solutions Law: Proposed eRIN RulesEP: Understanding Global Warming PotentialMIT: Natural Gas Contribution to Climate Change For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/converting-food-waste-into-energy-through-anaerobic-digestion-with-brett-reinford/

NEW Water in Green Bay, Wisconsin, may be a mid-sized utility.  But during our interview with executive director Tom Sigmund today, you'll hear about the remarkable things they are doing to prepare for the future.NEW Water covers 15 municipalities and over 240,000 residents. Over the next 20 years, they will implement a $470 million dollar capital improvement plan. Like many utilities, Tom sees their top three challenges as this capital improvement plan, retaining quality employees, and replacing infrastructure.They recently made changes on the solids handling side, and their next focus will be on the liquids handling side. This includes replacing equipment that is nearing 50 years old.   Their direct customers are municipalities and a couple of large businesses, including a new paper mill that recently opened.While NEW's primary role is public  health, Sigmund also believes that it has a role in economic development - helping the area attract new business.  This is all done within a $49 million annual budget - $27 million for operations and $22 million for capital.  Looking ahead, they rely on 15% cash financing and 85% debt financing.  They've recently added anaerobic digestion, gas recovery, and electrical energy generation, with an eye on the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act to see what opportunities could be next. In the meantime, Wisconsin's Clean Water Fund has been very helpful.To work toward the future, there may be a 5.5% to 7% increase in rates.   One of Tom's challenges is explaining that to customers, and why the short-term investment is important for long term success.   When he arrived, NEW Water was, as he puts it, "out of sight, out of mind."   Now communication is key - with consumers and to help recruit new talent.  He talks about some of the programs they are using for that.In today's episode we also touch on climate change, resiliency, ESG, and circular economy.  He's realized he needs to focus not on being a better engineer, but a better leader.More:New Water Green Bay Website: https://www.newwater.us/Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Host Gary Williams sits down with Commissioner of Works Susan Siopis to talk Anaerobic Digestion in Durham Region. 

The biggest ever survey of farmer wellbeing and mental health is being launched. The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI) says it wants to do this once-in-a-generation research so that in the future help can be targeted better for people working in agriculture. We also speak to the producer of a documentary film called "Under the Soil" which addresses the issue of mental health in farming which is out from today. All this week Farming Today is looking at different ways of generating energy on farms. We start the week discussing Anaerobic Digestion. So far the UK has around 688 Anaerobic Digestors, many of which are based on farms - using waste and crops to make biofuels. Charlotte Morton from the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association explains why growing crops for energy is not as problematic as some claim that it is. And here in the UK we talk about the weather a lot, and understandably, farmers are probably even more obsessed than the average person too. We visit Down Court Farm in Kent to meet a father and son who have taken their obsession up a level, by setting up their own weather stations to get their own personal forecast.

Bob Hamberg of Omega-Alpha Recycling Systems and Dragon Husbandry joins me to talk about anaerobic digestion and biogas. How we can use "waste" to close the loop and get beneficial by-products in the process. The anaerobic digesters can be integrated into permaculture and homestead systems by incorporating them within greenhouses and tying them into pond systems. As for "waste disposal," we've got two mis-defined terms resulting in an abominable oxymoron. In nature there is no such thing as waste. All residues serve as resources for further growth - there is nothing to be disposed of. Nothing is thrown away. Indeed, there is no "away". Everything must go somewhere. The misconception of waste disposal must be superseded by the concept of residue management. Show Notes:  www.permaculturevoices.com/38
