Waste to worth: a case study of the renewable natural gas circular economy in Pennsylvania
Coupling agricultural production with sustainable bioenergy systems that can offset greenhouse gases emitted during crop production and the use of nitrogen fertilizer and produce nitrogen-rich soil amendments or livestock feeds may help us improve the circular economy of agriculture and work within planetary boundaries for climate stabilization. During this talk, we will walk through a case study of sustainable bioenergy in a circular economy in Pennsylvania where digester systems are new entrepreneurial units allowing the next generation to grow the farm business and portfolio of revenue streams, and discuss the estimated larger opportunity for the state.
