Eight biogas projects received awards from the American Biogas Council for their outstanding performance and contribution to the U.S. biogas industry. The awards were announced at the sold-out Biogas Industry Awards and Dinner, at BioCycle REFOR19, the ABC's annual conference. This year, five projects received 2019 Project of the Year designation in the categories: dairy, agriculture, merchant, municipal, and landfill. One project received the 2019 Longevity Award for over five years of continuous operation and one project won the 2019 Innovation of the Year award. Also, due to an increased number of projects in development, one ABC's judges created a new category, the 2019 Up-And-Coming Biogas Project Award, of which there was one winner.
The award ceremony followed the announcement of ABC's shortlist of outstanding finalist projects, all deserving of their own recognition.
"These projects set the example for what excellent biogas projects and innovation look like. Together, we are breaking new ground in our rapidly growing industry which builds systems that recycle organics material into renewable energy and soil products," said Patrick Serfass, executive director of the ABC.
There are more than 2,200 operational biogas systems in the U.S. today with the potential for at least 13,500 new systems to be built.
