Counties seeking to convert organic waste streams (e.g., food waste, sludge, manure, fats, oils, & greases etc.) into energy can receive technical assistance from the U.S Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The NREL provides U.S. local governments with technical assistance to advance waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies. Communities in the strategic planning phase when it comes to these waste streams are also eligible and encouraged to apply.
