Colorado Trains in Anaerobic Digester Technology

December 2004

The Colorado Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC) conducted a workshop on anaerobic digesters and methane recovery on October 5. These technologies can cut energy costs and reduce lagoon odors at large animal operations.

The workshop focused on pork, dairy, and cattle producers. Shown for the first time was a videotaped virtual tour of a large pork-producing facility in Lamar, Colorado, which included its digesters and microturbine systems. A related brochure that offers a primer on the technology was distributed at the event. Both are available from the OEMC.
