A $29 billion annual waste conversion market has been projected, driven by a growing scarcity of land for waste disposal, shifts away from greenhouse gas emissions and nuclear power, and increasing demand for renewable energy and fuels. In the U.S. alone, anaerobic digesters could power 2.5 million homes a year if 50% of food waste was used as a feedstock. And anaerobic digestion projects recently received a boost from an EPA ruling allowing biogasderived compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to qualify as an advanced cellulosic biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Despite these prospects, substantial challenges and hurdles remain.
