Biogas Digestion Fact Sheets & Case Studies


Many different types of organic material can be converted into fuel. The fuel can be burned to produce heat, which can generate electricity or boil water in a boiler to create steam and/or heat.

Listed below are various fact sheets and other information sources on the use of biomass as renewable energy.


Fact Sheets (Acrobat Reader Required)

     Renewable Program Incentives and Grants

     Federal Tax Incentives

     Farm Energy from Manure
