DOE is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh (UW-Oshkosh) to purchase add-on equipment to operate an anaerobic dry digestion, waste-to-energy system at an existing facility. DOE funding would be used to purchase equipment that would measure facility performance using biogas generated by anaerobic digestion of different municipal, agricultural and industrial feedstocks, as well as to use waste biogas from a municipal treatment plant.
