One thought on “Indiana gears up to turn manure into renewable energy

  1. A few wastewater treatment facilities in Indiana already generate biogas from biomass and convert it to heat or electricity for operating pumps, etc. More can be done and the efforts described here are the next step. This is especially needed as it is more difficult to find locations to spread treated biomass for use as fertilizer or soil amendment for crops.
