EPA supports diversion of food waste and other organic materials from landfills. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is an alternative to landfilling that results in environmental benefits in the form of renewable energy (biogas) and a product that can improve soil health (digestate). The goal of this funding opportunity is to accelerate the development of new or enhance/increase existing anaerobic digestion capacity and infrastructure in the United States.
After a successful grant program in 2020, EPA selected 12 recipients for the FY19-20 competition. The FY21 Request for Applications (RFA) is now available on Grants.gov. Applications are due on October 7, 2021.
