- 1. AGreen Energy, LLCAGreen Energy, LLC Sustainability Conference – April 2013 Carly Filler – 203-‐417-‐3937 cfiller@agreenenergyllc.com
- 2. AGreen Mission • Combine organics with manure in anaerobic digester to create energy and ferFlizer • Help make farms more economically sustainable by adding income streams • Help food processors be more sustainable by recycling food scraps for a zero-‐waste food chain • Compliment current composFng efforts to divert maximum amount of organics from landfills • Reduces Green House Gases (GHG) by capturing methane from manure and replacing “dirty” electricity • Replace chemical ferFlizer used on farms and grows more feed for animals • Makes way for greenhouses using “waste” heat, ferFlizer, and CO2 in winter for more local foods. www.agreenenergyllc.com © April 2012 2 AGreen Energy, LLCAGreen Energy, LLC

Benefits of Organics to Energy to FerFlizer MA Rural Clean Renewable Energy Rural Development and Rural Job Making 1 project = 12 FTE Jobs Created $3M per digester plus $2M in infrastructure for organics diversion Organics Diversion to ferLlizer from landfill Environmental Benefits 1 cow reduces GHG emission = 3 cars Produces organic ferLlizer Improve air/water quality BeVer nutrient management on farms 1 cow = power for 1 MA house plus power and heat to farm Build MA Renewables PorXolio AGreen Energy, LLCAGreen Energy, LLC www.agreenenergyllc.com © April 2012 Slide 4 Use of liquid fertilizer from Jordan Farm doubled the hay output with no chemicals used – no GHG – doubled the food used to feed the cows to make the milk. A enclosed food chain.

Opportunity for dairy anaerobic digesters model to contribute to U.S. bio-‐economy Dairy industry can generate value by repurposing food waste from landfills, converting into renewable energy and providing for ecosystem services. $2.9 Billion Source: Innovation Center DMI presented to GMA Washington. Now task force for next steps is formed using Jordan Farms as the model. Source: Informa Economics for DMI 5

One out of three food calories is wasted -‐ POTENTIAL • 29% of America’s food supply lost consumption • Estimated total value at retail and consumer levels was $165.6 billion • 273 pounds of food per person per year • Disposal costs add one billion dollars in local taxes annually • Coming State bans on organics in landfills – MA set for 2014 to start organics ban Source: J. Buzby, and J. Hyman. “Total and per capita value of food loss in the United States”, Food Policy, 37(2012): 561-570. Food waste by retail value ($165.6B total) 6

- 11. Remaining Challenges • LogisFcs and infrastructure of gathering and removing contaminants from organics from many sources, is sFll a huge challenge, parFcularly with residenFal • Permikng pathway is cumbersome – to be helped by new DEP regulaFons but will need conFnued work as organics processing develops • Finance barriers to developing anaerobic digesFon – banks require 10 year agreements on all feedstocks • Change – move all of the food industry to see re-‐purpose of organics as a source of power; less GHG; and more food. www.agreenenergyllc.com © April 2012 11
