Our current common disposal method of organic wastes is landfills, which releases methane gas and eliminates potential energy and economic revenue. We evaluated the feasibility of implementing an anaerobic digester in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., by analyzing potential feedstock, siting considerations, and an economic analysis of the project feasibility. Anaerobic digestion addresses sustainability as a green means of waste reduction, and also turns waste into an economic asset; however, the process still has a great deal of uncertainty.
