What Is Biomass?
Biomass is organic matter, such as agricultural crop waste, high-strength organic waste (HSOW), and municipal/organic waste. Using technology, biomass can be converted into biogas to generate heat or create electricity to power onsite operations. It can also be converted into renewable natural gas (RNG) and sold on the market. For wastewater treatment plants struggling with tight budgets and aging infrastructure, certain biomass substrates can fuel critical infrastructure upgrades.
Sound unbelievable? It’s not. Some wastewater treatment plants with codigestion capabilities are uniquely positioned to extract value from biomass. It just requires the right mindset, the right conditions, and the right partner to help you take advantage of market needs.
