![Page 8: Economic Development Through Eco-Industrial Development Dion Jackson, Project Manager The National Center for Eco-Industrial Development](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649db55503460f94aa68d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Anaerobic Digestion
Waste Treatment Benefits– Natural waste treatment process.– Requires less land than aerobic composting or landfilling.– Reduces disposed waste volume and weight to be
landfilled.– Reduces concentrations of leachates.
Energy Benefits– Net energy producing process.– Generates a high-quality renewable fuel.– Biogas proven in numerous end-use applications.
![Page 9: Economic Development Through Eco-Industrial Development Dion Jackson, Project Manager The National Center for Eco-Industrial Development](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033108/56649db55503460f94aa68d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anaerobic Digestion
Environmental Benefits– Significantly reduces carbon dioxide and methane
emissions.– Eliminates odors.– Produces a sanitized compost and nutrient-rich
fertilizer.– Maximizes recycling benefits.
Economic Benefits– Is more cost-effective than other treatment options
from a life-cycle perspective.
