The AgSTAR Program is a voluntary effort jointly sponsored
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department
of Energy. The program encourages the use of methane
recovery (biogas) technologies at the confined animal
feeding operations that manage manure as liquids
or slurries. These technologies reduce methane emissions while achieving other environmental benefits.
The following links provide more information on the
AgSTAR Program:
- Basic Information — Learn more about methane
emissions from manure management and how the AgSTAR
Program is working collaboratively with industry and
other government organizations to reduce emissions.
- Accomplishments — Learn
more about AgSTAR’s
successes in encouraging the adoption of anaerobic
digestion technology.
- Experts — Identify appropriate designers, project
developers, energy service providers, equipment manufacturers
and distributors, and commodity organizations for developing
anaerobic digestion technologies.
- Documents Tools, and Resources — Find publications
and technical tools that provide more information on
manure management and will assist you in developing
anaerobic digestion projects.
- Workshops/Conferences — Learn more about upcoming
events and activities.
- Guide to Operational Systems — Learn more
about the status of farm-scale digesters currently
operating at commercial livestock farms in the U.S.
- Learn more about the new Rural Energy for America Program
