Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority’s Carbon Neutral Energy Project was unveiled at their wastewater treatment facility in Victorville, California.  The Project creates energy by using tons of waste that would otherwise be sent to landfills. This facility houses the Omnivore Biogas Renewable Energy Project which is the end result of Carbon neutrality and produces 100% renewable power by treating sewage and organic waste. The facility will be 100% energy neutral by the start of 2015.

This facility will prevent more than 1,400 tons of waste from entering landfills and replace 9 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The facility houses an anaerobic digester with new and unique technology that boosts its energy development capacity by increasing the amount of organic waste and sludge that can be digested and converted to biogas. This is then turned into electricity for power plant operations.  Several high energy waste streams such as FOG and food processing wastes are being evaluated for potential introduction into the digester.
