The Food Recycling Law was established in Japan in 2001 to reduce food waste and promote recycling. It requires food industries like manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants to reduce production waste and recycle food waste into feed and fertilizer. While the recycling rate has increased under this law, the amount of food waste produced remains high at 17 million tons annually. Amendments in 2007 set recycling goals for different industries and require large food producers to report waste amounts and recycling activities annually. The overall aim continues to be reducing and recycling more of Japan's significant food waste.
This document discusses converting biogas from organic waste digesters into compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle fuel. It notes that biogas to CNG provides opportunities for smaller facilities not previously seen as financially viable. A BioCNG system is described that can economically produce biogas-based CNG at small scales. CNG has significant cost savings over gasoline and diesel, and projects in various locations that have successfully converted fleets to run on biogas-produced CNG are highlighted.
The document discusses opportunities for converting biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG) or bio-CNG through cost-effective systems. Small to large wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and organics digesters can now afford to install biogas upgrading systems due to lower capital costs and financing opportunities. Producing bio-CNG from wasted biogas can provide fuel for vehicles at a cost savings compared to diesel and gasoline. Systems can produce bio-CNG for $1.50 per gallon or less thanks to renewable fuel credits. New York offers incentives for alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure to encourage bio-CNG adoption.
