Recent California legislation, which requires the diversion of 50% of food and green wastes from landfills, creates
additional opportunities and incentives for biomass waste utilization as a feedstock for digesters. Converting these
wastes into bioenergy and other valuable products creates both environmental and economic benefits.
Recovery of the landfill tipping fees (currently $25-70 per wet ton) associated with disposing of most food and green
wastes will greatly enhance the economics of the anaerobic digestion technology.
OPS’s primary goal is to create a realistic business development plan that will provide a profitable and stable
corporation with a good return on the investor’s capital. Although there are extensive national and international
markets for the APS digester technology, OPS is concentrating primarily on the California market potential in this
business plan.
In the future, it is OPS’s intention to market nationally, however with the location of research staff and laboratories at
UC Davis in California and the cooperation of the California Energy Commission, it is prudent that the first commercial
projects be in or near California. It is critical for OPS’s success to closely monitor the first commercial systems for
operational performance and economic analysis.
