Electricity
Electricity Bioenergy from organic waste can provide renewable power that is available 24/7 to complement wind and solar, while providing many other benefits to California. Bioenergy generated from organic waste cuts greenhouse gas emissions, reduces catastrophic wildfires, helps divert waste from landfills, produces organic soil amendments for California’s soils, and generates 2 to 6 times…
Read MorePipeline Biogas
Pipeline Biogas Organic waste can be used to produce biogas for use as transportation fuel to generate electricity, providing heating and cooling, provide renewable hydrogen to power fuel cells, and more. Biogas can be used onsite or cleaned up and injected into gas pipelines for use in other locations. California enacted AB 1900 (Gatto) in…
Read MoreClimate Change & Bioenergy
Climate Change and Bioenergy Bioenergy can significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions by reducing methane from organic waste and black carbon from wildfires. Bioenergy also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels by providing low-carbon energy and fuels. And bioenergy can reduce petroleum-based fertilizers by producing biochar, biosolids, and digestate, which are organic soil amendments. BAC…
