Renewable energy opportunities for food processors
Wisconsin food processors are in a unique position to generate renewable energy from their own waste products using biogas anaerobic digesters. A digester can help reduce processing costs and create a hedge against rising energy costs while protecting the environment. These renewable energy systems also enable processors to promote their reputations as environmentally friendly companies and enhance their public relations.

Focus on Energy offers financial incentives for biogas anaerobic digesters, as well as solar, wind, and biomass combustion energy systems. To learn more about renewable incentives for food processors, visit focusonenergy.com/reincentives.
