Green Energy from Biomass? What would be a fair Definition?
New York State is eager to grow the green energy generation and has many incentives to encourage new solar, wind and biomass to energy programs.
When it comes to organic waste to energy using anaerobic digester, the definition of green energy is only restricted to 50% or more cow manure used for making bio-gas. This is unfair to other projects that use human waste or food processing waste as raw material for digestion.
Hopefully this narrow definition will change soon so many other projects can benefit from the incentives and improve their returns on investment. The time is now if we want to see progress and develop sustainable green communities.
The goal of net-zero energy and energy independence can be reached with broader definition when waste materials are sources as feed to the digesters.
