  1. Food Waste Anaerobic Digestion

  2. Long Island Compost Overview • 30-years as leader in the management of organic materials on Long Island • Currently operate two of the nation’s largest yard-waste transfer stations in Westbury, NY and a 62-acre facility in Yaphank, NY (150 employees) • Hundreds of thousands of tons of organic material processed per year sustainably (wind-row technology) into a range of mulches, nutrient-rich compost and engineered soil products.

  3. Long Island Compost Impact • Currently manage leaves, tree debris, grass clippings and other organic-materials being generated by Long Islanders. • These organic materials are recycled for use in your local garden and also used in large scale landscape restorations projects.

  5. Anaerobic Digester Project • LI Compost will apply prior experience to a new organic material – food waste • First project will be located at LI Compost’s 62 acre site in Yaphank, NY utilizing anaerobic digestion technology proven for decades in Europe and elsewhere • Sources of waste to include Long Island based restaurants, institutions, and grocery chains • Expect to begin construction in early 2014 and place the project in service end of 2014 or first quarter 2015

  6. Anaerobic Digester Project • 160,000 tons of material annually to be treated using anaerobic digestion • 120,000 tons of food waste • 30,000 tons of FOG (fats, oils and greases) • 10,000 tons of grass clipping • Resulting biogas will be used to produce both electricity and CNG • Biosolids will be integrated into LI Compost’s existing wholesale and retail bag products

  7. AD Project Impact • Enables waste stream that is currently transported to landfills 300-600 miles away to be treated locally • Reduces fuel consumption associated with thousands of interstate tractor trailer trips per year – estimated to be 1.4 million miles/year • Reduces emissions associated with the landfill process • Represents a transformational method of handling solid waste, harvesting its latent energy content, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions

  8. AD Project Impact • Energy generated by project will meet 100% of AD project’s requirements AND be used by Long Island Compost to offset current consumption • Conversion of fleet (16 vehicles) and stationary equipment to CNG will offset 375,000 gallons of diesel per year • Existing electrical consumption of 455,000 kWh/year will be met by self generation from the AD project • GHG emissions are expected to be reduced by a combined total of 40,626 tons of CO2 per year • Expect to have approximately 50% of the total biogas production available for consumption by outside parties (approximately 1.0 million diesel gallon equivalents/year)
