Accessible version: www.epa.gov Food waste is the second largest portion of garbage going into landfills in the United States, accounting for over 30 million tons each year. Food Scraps are one of the most important materials to divert from landfills as they decompose to create methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to climate change. In order to decrease food waste and mitigate global warming, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is pioneering an innovative method of …

The thing is the EPA is paying them to create methane. So it’s just creating the same problem. Proper composting, or aerobic composting produces no methane. Also, burning methane produces carbon dioxide, water, and just a little bit of carbon monoxide. These are the same things a car produces, yet the EPA rewards businesses for doing this, and chastises people for driving cars. Isn’t that counter-intuitive?
If your apt building units include food waste disposers – aka garbage disposers – you’re already connected to this service. Food scraps pulverized by disposer end up being processed into energy and fertilizer at EBMUD, without having to be collected/transported in trucks, with all the convenience of having it immediately disappear.
About time someone explained this technology to us – and about time someone started to use it!
video is v. cool
Cool, with the budget crisis looming and our dependence on foreign oil still painful we need every scrap of cheap energy we can get.
Wow! Excellent video which really gives a complete picture of an innovative technology! Very forward looking!
I manage an 18 unit apt. building in Oakland and I can’t get access to this service… EBMud better not be wasting that grant money!
