On June 4, 2025, the American Biogas Council, a national trade association representing the U.S. biogas industry, released new data analyzing each state’s untapped potential to generate renewable energy by diverting organic waste (e.g., manure, food waste, and wastewater sludge) to anaerobic digesters, which trap the gas generated by the decomposition of that waste (i.e., biogas) for conversion into energy. The process also generates nutrient-rich organic fertilizer which can be used at commercial scale in lieu of synthetic products.
