Bill > SB00928

This bill authorizes the State Bond Commission to issue up to $5 million in state bonds to provide grants to farms that have recently installed anaerobic digesters to help them modify their manure management systems. An anaerobic digester is a technology that breaks down organic waste like animal manure in an oxygen-free environment, producing biogas that can be used as renewable energy and creating a more sustainable waste management process. The funds will be administered by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and are specifically intended to help farms make the necessary infrastructure and operational changes required when implementing these new waste-to-energy systems. By supporting farms in adopting anaerobic digestion technology, the bill aims to promote more environmentally friendly agricultural practices and help farmers improve their waste management capabilities.
