Technology Turning Food Waste into Renewable Energy: Bioenergy Devco
Food waste is an enormous environmental and economic crisis that demands urgent solutions. Each year, an astonishing 1.03 billion tons of food is wasted globally — enough to feed 1.26 billion hungry people. All that wasted food is responsible for a staggering 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
As the world grapples with these mounting challenges of food waste and the need for sustainable energy sources, an innovative solution is emerging — the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) to transform organic waste into renewable electricity. This cutting-edge technology offers a powerful way to address two pressing environmental issues simultaneously while also providing valuable byproducts that can benefit agriculture and local communities.
