Yaniv Scherson is the Managing Director for the western U.S. region for Anaergia and is based in Carlsbad California where he leads Anaergia's projects integrating organics recycling from solid waste with anaerobic digestion and wastewater for production of renewable power and renewable natural gas. He is a licensed professional engineer in California and holds Ph.D. and MS degrees from Stanford University.
Wet AD projects development in California Sorting organics from MSW for anaerobic digestion offers a cost-effective solution that avoids the additional collection, outreach, or new bins. By utilizing traditional solid waste processing equipment that fits within existing transfer stations and by partnering with existing AD infrastructure the deployment of food waste to green energy production can be quickly ramped-up. Two California case studies (North & South) will be presented of centralized solid waste processing with organics extraction at MRFs coupled with the use of new and existing anaerobic digestion infrastructure.
