Given Oregon’s strong agricultural sector, there is the potential to close the loop on the nutrient cycle while increasing energy production through development of biogas projects within the state. However, there are a number of challenges, such as permitting, financing, and neighbor opposition that can hinder development of biogas facilities. The purpose of the Biogas Facility Permitting and Siting Guide (the Guide) is to provide agricultural developers, farmers, third party energy developers, or anyone interested in developing a biogas facility with the information they need to do so in Oregon.en-USrights_reservedBiogasEnergy sourceEnergy developmentEnergy supplyTechnical Report
