The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Waste-to-Energy Technical Assistance for Local Governments

In this presentation, researchers chart the progress of a project focused on waste-to-energy (WTE) technical assistance to local governments to support decision-making related to organic waste streams. The project mobilizes data, information, and knowledge about organic waste streams to local governments. It delivers tailored deliverables and shared resources, addressing specific waste management challenges and opportunities. Frequent requests included cost-benefit analyses of food waste management, technology reviews, and case studies. The project supports BETO’s R&D strategies and key performance goals by providing insights into community challenges and priorities. The end goal is to summarize key results and opportunities in a white paper.
