Waste is a terrible thing to waste. This is particularly true for organic waste (e.g. dairy manure and food waste) because of its massive volume and significant impact on the environment. However, using appropriate technology, organic waste may become part of the solution instead of the problem. Recently there has been growing interest in using anaerobic digestion (AD) technology to convert such waste into useful energy while harvesting environmental and economic benefits at same time.

This web-based platform is designed to help identify and locate those major generating sources of organic waste for evaluating, planning and designing waste-to-energy projects in New York State. Additional decision-support tools are also provided to help estimate waste production, simulate cost-benefit analysis of potential project, and search technical resources.
