AgSTAR biogas recovery

Farm-community energy from livestock waste

AgSTAR promotes biogas recovery systems to reduce methane emissions from livestock waste. Anaerobic digesters can produce renewable energy while delivering agricultural and community co-benefits.

What you can do

• Connect local farmers interested in digesters with AgSTAR technical assistance
• Advocate for community biogas projects that share energy benefits with nearby residents
• Learn feasibility criteria before proposing a digester in your watershed

How to participate

• Explore case studies and tools at AgSTAR
• Host a farm tour or workshop with extension agents and AgSTAR resources

Why it matters

Rural methane reduction can fund local energy resilience when communities co-design projects with farmers rather than treating digesters as distant industrial assets.
