The Kompogas Dry Anaerobic Digestion plant converts an average of 1,000 US tons of green waste and bio-waste each day into three products:
Energy

~ 20% powers the plant; ~ 80% sold to PG&E, enough to power over 600 homes a year
Solid Compost
20,000+ US tons/year sold to local growers, donated to local nonprofits, and made available to the community.
Liquid Digestate
1,700 US tons/year of soil amendment for growers in SLO County, where agriculture is a $1 billion+ annual industry.
