Abstract
Biogas,
derived
from
anaerobic
decomposition
of
organic
matter,
is
a
small
but
growing
source
of
energy
in
Oregon.
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.
