| Fact Sheet: Sequestering Greenhouse Gases from Landfills, Animal Waste, Sewage, and Other Sources Via Biomethane Production | 3/21/2007 | Brochures & Fact Sheets | |
American Biogas Alliance, Washington, D.C. Biogas, a mixture of methane and other gases produced from the decomposition of organic materials, is produced naturally in landfills and from processing of animal waste, sewage, crop waste, and cellulosic and non-cellulosic crops. If biomethane made from recovered biogas were used in vehicles, it is estimated that it would reduce greenhouse gases by 500 million metric tons of CO2 per year, or the emissions equivalent of removing 90 million light-duty gasoline vehicles from the roads. |

| Biomethane from Dairy Waste: A Sourcebook for the Production and Use of Renewable Natural Gas in California | Krich, K.; Augenstein, D.; Batmale, J.P.; Benemann, J.; Rutledge, B.; Salour, D.; Wright, J., Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, California State University, Fresno, CA | 7/1/2005 | Reports |
Sustainable Conservation, San Francisco, CA; Institute for Environmental Management, Inc., Palo Alto, CA; Great Valley Center, Modesto, CA; Institute for Environmental Management, Inc., Palo Alto, CA; WestStart-CalStart, Pasadena, CA; RCM Digesters, Inc., Berkeley, CA; This report examines the feasibility of producing biomethane from dairy manure. We investigated a number of possible technologies for producing renewable forms of energy and fuel from dairy wastes as well as applications and markets for these products. Although some of the applications proved to be technically or economically infeasible at this time, we believe that the information gathered could prove useful for other investigators or future studies. With this in mind, we designed this sourcebook for readers and investigators interested in exploring alternate uses of biogas created from dairy wastes. |

| Biogas Potential in the United States Fact Sheet | 10/17/2013 | Brochures & Fact Sheets | |
National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado Biogas has received increased attention as an alternative energy source in the United States. The factsheet provides information about the biogas (methane) potential from various sources in the country (by county and state) and estimates the power generation and transportation fuels production (renewable natural gas) potential from these biogas sources. It provides valuable information to the industry, academia and policy makers in support of their future decisions. |
