The areas of the plant covered by the reports are separate from the storage silo that exploded in 2020, but the reports' author, an experienced consultant in the anaerobic digestion industry, said he had been concerned about large parts of the site.

Food waste is sent to an anaerobic digestion plant, and converted into energy by burning the methane waste that comes from it, with the by-product being used for farm fertiliser.

In 2021, the EPA updated its definition of food waste to include composting and anaerobic digestion — both of which can take inputs like uneaten food and turn them into fertilizer or biogas, respectively.

The EPA will continue to lead and expand two key networks — the National Compost and Anaerobic Digestion Peer Network and the Food: Too Good to Waste Peer Network — bringing together state and local government staff to share strategies, research, and solutions for organics recycling and reducing household food waste.

This phenomenon in biofilms has been used to develop various environmental and energy technologies, including microbial fuel cells, anaerobic digestion, and electrochemical sensors.
