Via WXOW, La Crosse, WI: Gundersen Lutheran

Gundersen Lutheran: "Waste from the brewing process needs to be pretreated before it is sent to the city waste water treatment facility. The City Brewery has an anaerobic digester. During the waste treatment process, biogas (including methane) is created. The methane is currently flared off. Now, the methane gas will be captured and used as an energy source to run an engine. The energy will be converted into electricity and then transferred to the grid. "
