Read about biogas in the news!

Biogas has great potential for addressing greenhouse gas pollution and serving growing energy needs. Waste treatment plants, dairies and other industries across California are generating biogas at an increasing rate, exceeding their need for heating digester feed materials.

What are the best options for using the biogas? And what remaining questions need more exploration?

This one-day workshop at the University of California, Merced will bring together experts, who have years of experience with biogas, and newcomers, who have recently installed new equipment or are thinking of upgrading their equipment.

The goal is to share experiences and insights and identify what questions remain unanswered.
