Subject: Diversion of food scraps and green waste for maximum GHG impact
Comment:
Every municipality in California can achieve maximum energy recovery and GHG reduction by properly diverting organic materials. This means not landfilling, rather source separated collection(already happening w/ green waste, many programs are now adding food scraps, delivery to existing sewage treatment facilities for digestion. Digestion of organic waste harvests energy, saves transportation costs, conserves landfill and compost facility capacity by reducing solid waste, and creates a carbon-rich residual well-suited to conmposting. Organics digestion should be separate from sewage solids. The infrastracture for this digestion diversion is substantially built, or can be included in re-builds. This concept is sound, tremendously cost-effective and has huge potential for beneficial GHG impact.
