In New Jersey, Gloucester City officials announced that construction has begun on Organic Diversion’s food waste to energy facility. The facility will recycle organic waste [source-separated food waste, yard waste, and brush] into renewable energy using dry fermentation, anaerobic digestion technology to produce biogas.
The biogas produced will be used to run a combined heat and power unit creating renewable electrical and thermal energy. The by-product of the digestion process will be composted using indoor, Aerated Static Pile composting technology providing compost for use at farms and in gardens.
