Co-digestion of food waste with wastewater residuals holds substantial promise as a way to increase renewable energy, reduce costs and create environmental benefits. The question is how to design co-digestion projects to maximize the benefits while working with existing wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Last October, the Water Environment & Reuse Foundation and the Water Research Foundation held a workshop called Advancing Anaerobic Digestion of Wastewater Solids and Food Waste for Energy and Resource Recovery: Science and Solutions – A Framework for the Practice of Co-digestion.
At the workshop, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, speakers and participants discussed existing co-digestion programs, ways
