Summary Report
In 2008, Northwest Dairy Association (NDA) identified a need to promote the development of anaerobic digestion throughout its 600+ member producer network. EC Oregon, an independent consultant specializing in the planning and development of biogas plants, was contracted to perform a series of feasibility studies. EC Oregon completed six independent studies to assess the technical and financial viability of on-farm digesters in Oregon. This report summarizes the findings of the individual feasibility studies and draws conclusions regarding the potential for broad scale dairy digester deployment.
