Market Opportunities and Challenges

■ Opportunity – High value for renewable fuels

Long term value and financing a challenge

■ Digester

Generally air free making upgrading easier (O2 removed in the membrane)

Siloxanes - must be removed for Rule 30

High H2S – In California requires separate removal

High cost for pipeline interconnect and product analysis (esp. small plants)

WWTP – Challenge is municipal structure (delays)

Dairy – Main issue is scale

Food waste – Can contain a range of impurities not common to other digesters

■ Landfill

Contains a level of N2 and O2 (along with high levels of VOCs)

For Rule 30 for 990 BTU/ft3 (98% CH4) will need to add N2 rejection (higher cost, lower

recovery) and can also need propane injection

Needs larger flow rates than digesters to be economic
