Can sewage solve our energy crisis?
[USA] Sewage-to-energy would cut costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Industry calculations show that if all biosolids in the Continue reading Can sewage solve our energy crisis?
A.I.M. Interview: SFCC’s Luke Spangenburg
The vision of developing a community college degree program to train a high technology algae workforce was launched at New Mexico’s Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) in 2009. Charles Bensinger assembled the program, with state funding, to start this Continue reading A.I.M. Interview: SFCC’s Luke Spangenburg
UC employs synergistic approach to AD, algae and biodiesel
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that “a third of all the food produced in the world is never consumed,” totaling about 1.3 billion tons of waste a year. The U.S. alone wastes 40 percent of all food, worth an estimated $165 billion.
This waste decays in landfills and, without oxygen present, emits methane, which is a Continue reading UC employs synergistic approach to AD, algae and biodiesel
