King County is working with a number of partners on a system that would convert methane gas from cow manure into electricity. The goals of "manure power" are to help dairy farmers with waste management, reduce odor, improve regional air and water quality, and generate revenue through the sale of green electricity and organic soil amendments and liquid fertilizers. As part of this effort, King County commissioned a Study to Evaluate the Price and Markets for the Residual Solids from a Dairy Cow Manure Anaerobic Digester.
The study incorporates a review of an earlier Feasibility Study report with research into the operation of similar, existing digesters and a market study to evaluate the most likely potential market and the probable value of the solids in that market.
Anaerobic Digesters for King County Dairies is offered in Adobe Acrobat format. For help using Acrobat, please visit our Acrobat help page.
