VIS.211-Drawdown Georgia, A Case Study On Composting As A Mechanism to Address Global Warming-AC22.USCC

Project Drawdown has done a pragmatic assessment of transformational changes that will be necessary to curtail global warming. When we analyze these projects, we find many of them can be clustered into a broader narrative of Organic Circularity. Researchers in Georgia have adopted the Project Drawdown methodology and created a hierarchy of initiatives to achieve… Continue reading VIS.211-Drawdown Georgia, A Case Study On Composting As A Mechanism to Address Global Warming-AC22.USCC

VIS.210-A Circular Economy to Scale Carbon Farming and Compost Infrastructure-AC22.USCC

Zero Foodprint is a 501.c3 leading public private collaborations with governments in CA, CO to scale carbon farming. We generate funds from businesses and citizens and depoly grants in conjunction with trusted conservation networks like the Conservation Districts and Cooperative Extensions. We are scaling this circular economy with a long term vision of enabling direct… Continue reading VIS.210-A Circular Economy to Scale Carbon Farming and Compost Infrastructure-AC22.USCC

FAC.216-Minimizing Energy Inputs for Compost Manufacturing-AC22.USCC

The cost of energy inputs in the form or diesel and electricity are significant factors in the overall cost of operating a composting facility.   Finding strategies that minimize those inputs will reduce operating expenses as well as emissions of CO2 equivalents.  The primary areas of energy use once the feedstocks are delivered to the facility… Continue reading FAC.216-Minimizing Energy Inputs for Compost Manufacturing-AC22.USCC

FAC.311-The Application of Laboratory Aeration Demand Testing to Facility Design-AC22.CREF

The efficiency with which aerobic bacteria consume oxygen and convert organic matter (OM) to CO2 is the primary measure of composting stabilization rates and a determining factor in air emissions.  Process conditions (primarily temperature and oxygen) and feedstock characteristics determine the efficiency of this process.  Researchers, such as McCartney, Sundberg, and others, have used highly… Continue reading FAC.311-The Application of Laboratory Aeration Demand Testing to Facility Design-AC22.CREF
