Farm Power • What We Do Now • organize, own, and operate community anaerobic digesters. • build on relationships formed throughout Pacific Northwest since our founding in 2007 • produce 10,000 MWh of green power and 15,000 tons of verified carbon offsets annually • save dairy farmers at our two operating projects thousands of dollars a week on bedding, fertilizer, and manure handling costs

  7. Farm Power • Materials handling • can accept up to 30% non-manure feedstock • quality of digested fiber remains high

  8. Farm Power • Annual impact--per digester • 20 million gallons of manure processed • electricity to power 500 homes • methane destruction equivalent to taking 2,000 cars off the road • 20,000 cubic yards of fiber for bedding or horticultural use • two skilled full-time jobs • sustainable disposal of 5,000 tons of food-processing waste • ability to extract 300,000 pounds of nitrogen and phosphorus for application elsewhere
