Biogas is a hot topic in the organics management world of Oregon. Check out the Fall 2010 edition of Edible Portland article, “Field Scraps to Fuel,” which describes Stahlbush Island Farms biogas plant.
Also, Columbia Biogas made headlines with its approval from Metro and issued permits from DEQ to build a new anaerobic digestion facility that will turn commercial and industrial food waste into electricity and other usable byproducts including solid residues to be used as fertilizer and soil amendment. The proposed facility will be located in Portland at 6849 NE Columbia Blvd.
