Biodigesters for Energy Security and Community Livelihoods in Puerto Rico

Research output: NLR › Fact Sheet

Abstract

Managing organic waste is a common challenge across Puerto Rico. Anaerobic digestion presents an opportunity to turn that waste into useful products that can support greater community resilience. Centro de Microempresas y Tecnologias Agricolas Sustenables Yauco (CMTAS) is a community agricultural group in Yauco Quebradas, Puerto Rico. CMTAS has been active in Puerto Rico since 2011 developing biogas digesters and other agricultural solutions and enterprises. This infographic provides an overview of the process and technology for anaerobic digestion as well as the key benefit streams for communities.
