SUMMARY:Siting Considerations for Anaerobic Digesters
DESCRIPTION:NERC/NEWMOA Four Part Webinar Series\n\nWebinar 2: Siting Considerations for Anaerobic Digesters\nThis presentation will provide a high-level overview of site considerations for anaerobic digestion facilities\, from state regulations and permitting to feedstock analysis\, site design and layout\, water\, and digestate. Anaerobic digesters are typically established in locations that meet specific criteria. These include sites with a steady supply of organic materials\, such as farms (where animal manure and crop residues are abundant)\, water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs)\, food production facilities\, and landfills. Additionally\, stand-alone digesters can be constructed centrally to accept organics from multiple businesses. Throughout the presentation\, we will explore proper siting and design considerations which are crucial for efficient and effective anaerobic digestion systems.   \nView the presentation slides [PDF] \n \nSponsor\n \nSpeakers\nDebra Darby\, Organics Recycling and Sustainability Solutions\, Client Manager\, Tetra Tech\n \nMs. Debra Darby is a client manager with 16 years of organics experience in the solid waste industry. She leads Tetra Tech’s organics management initiative in Tetra Tech’s Solid Waste East (SWE) region. She is a U.S. Composting Council Certified Composting Professional (CCP). Ms. Darby has garnered a reputation as a leader in her field through her extensive background working with organics and compostable materials\, assisting clients with designing and implementing organics management and infrastructure\, including composting and anaerobic digestion systems. She has 25 years of experience in environmental marketing and has served as a strategic advisor in the public and private sectors. Ms. Darby’s experience encompasses feedstock analyses\, permitting\, organics collection programs\, compost facility design\, facility operational manuals\, waste reduction planning\, public outreach\, and assisting clients in developing zero waste plans. She has provided perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) awareness education as part of her work in finding cleaner production opportunities through toxic use reduction. \nPeter Klaassen\, Vice President of Waste – Ontario\, Tetra Tech\n\nMr. Peter Klaassen is a senior environmental professional\, with more than 28 years of solid waste experience undertaking projects in Canada\, US\, Caribbean\, North Africa\, Middle East\, and Central Asia. Peter has a variety of experience in many aspects of waste management\, including system design\, waste management planning\, environmental planning\, environmental assessment\, waste management engineering\, financial and proforma analysis (capital\, operational and cash flow projections)\, assembly of terms of reference\, tenders\, contracts\, and negotiations for both private and government clients.  He has worked on several anaerobic digestion projects involving evaluation of waste flow\, waste characteristics\, traffic analysis\, technology evaluations\, site evaluation\, and a high order financial review.

SUMMARY:Anaerobic Digestion Facilities: Operators' Perspectives on Siting and More
DESCRIPTION:NERC/NEWMOA Four Part Webinar Series\n\nWebinar 3: Anaerobic Digestion Facilities: Operators’ Perspectives on Siting and More\nHear from operators of three successful\, diverse anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities from Maine\, Connecticut\, and Maryland\, followed by a generous question and answer period. The presenters will cover topics including: \n\nChoosing the specific AD technology for their application;\nFinding the site for the facility;\nTargeting and handling feedstocks;\nUsing the biogas and digestate; and\nEngaging the community and addressing environmental justice concerns during development and operations.\n\nView the presentation slides [PDF] \n \nSponsor\n \nSpeakers\nHolden Cookson\, Director of Business Development\, Agri-Cycle\n \nHolden has been a dynamic force in the food waste management sector since his collegiate days at the University of Maine at Farmington in 2013. It was there that he discovered his passion for sustainability\, working alongside experts like Mark King of the DEP to revitalize (the now flourishing) Farmington Compost Cooperative’s composting site. \nDuring the intervening years\, Holden has been instrumental in guiding numerous businesses\, communities\, and corporations to either kickstart or significantly enhance their food waste recycling services. His efforts have not only contributed to the growth of sustainable practices but also fostered a culture of environmental responsibility across various sectors. Holden’s vast knowledge extends beyond composting and AD; he is equally versed in food waste reduction and donation practices\, showcasing his comprehensive understanding of what it means to be Food Full Circle. This expertise has been crucial in developing innovative solutions that not only divert waste from landfills but also support food security efforts by donating surplus food to those in need. \nToday\, Holden is the Director of Business Development for Agri-Cycle Energy as well as the Founder of Against The Grain New England. \nBrian Paganini\, Vice President and Managing Director\, Quantum Biopower\n\nBrian led the design\, permitting\, and construction of the only operating large scale food waste to energy facility on the East Coast.  The facility is located in Southington\, CT and recycles 40\,000 tons/year of food waste creating 1.2MW of power and 10\,000 tons/year of organic compost.  Quantum’s facility removes 5\,000 tons of CO2 emissions through their methane recycling process. Brian leads all facets of the company’s operations and business including the development of new facilities located around the Northeast.  Brian is a board member of the RecycleCT Foundation chaired by the DEEP Commissioner of Connecticut.  Apart from business operations\, Brian focuses extensively on fostering academic partnerships with the University of Connecticut\, as well as\, promoting new recycling and energy legislation in an effort to create innovation and technology initiatives around recycling\, in Connecticut. Prior to managing Quantum’s business\, he worked in the biomedical field. \nAndrew Cassilly\, Vice President of Governmental Relations\, Bioenergy Devco\n\nAndrew currently serves as Vice President of Governmental Relations for Bioenergy Devco\, a leader in anerobic digester development and operation in Europe and the United States. In prior rolls Andrew served as the Chief Legislative Officer and Senior Advisor to Governor Hogan where he oversaw the governor’s environmental and renewable energy legislative initiatives.  Andrew was elected to two terms in the Maryland General Assembly  as a State Delegate where he served five years on the House Environment and Transportation Committee. Andrewsuccessfully passed several State laws promoting organics recycling and renewable energy. He also served as the Resource Conservation Supervisor in the public school system where he implemented renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Andrew received his BS in Industrial Technology from Millersville University and his master’s in administrative management from Loyola College.
