| Description: |
Sustainable Blacksburg presents the Mobile Biodigester Demonstration as part of the 2017 Blacksburg Sustainability Week on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at the YMCA at Virginia Tech parking lot. Who doesn’t love a win-win-win? Come see for yourself how microorganisms can reclaim the useful energy in food waste, help to divert organic material from our local landfills, while also creating a high nitrogen/phosphorus waste product that can fertilize future crop production. Created by mechanical engineering students at Virginia Tech under the direction of Dr. Steven Cox, the entire food-to-energy conversion process happen right on the mobile biodigester trailer and can create enough energy to power an entire home!
