Bill > HB06300

This bill proposes establishing a task force to study how municipalities can convert biosolids into energy through anaerobic digestion. Biosolids, which are nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from wastewater treatment processes, would be the focus of this investigation. Anaerobic digestion is a technical process where organic matter is broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, which can produce biogas (a renewable energy source) and create a potential sustainable waste management solution. The task force will likely examine the technical, environmental, and economic feasibility of implementing such energy conversion processes at the municipal level, with the goal of finding innovative ways to transform what is typically considered waste into a valuable energy resource. By creating this study group, the bill aims to explore potential opportunities for more efficient and environmentally friendly waste management and renewable energy production.
