The document summarizes a tour of biogas installations in Northern California that demonstrated various biogas feedstocks and processes. The tour stopped at (1) a landfill where landfill gas was collected, upgraded and liquefied for use as fuel in trucks, (2) a dairy farm where cow manure was digested to produce biogas for on-site power generation, (3) a dairy where milk haulers were converted to run on dairy biogas, and (4) a municipal solid waste facility where biogas from waste digestion fueled a large fuel cell to generate electricity for the city. The document also notes that CALSTART is involved in projects to advance the biomethane industry in California.

Biomethane tour 4 28-10
- 1. Northern California Biomethane Tour Steven Sokolsky April 28, 2010
- 2. Background Sustainable Conservation organized a tour of biogas installations to demonstrate the variety of biogas feedstocks and processes Locations included landfill, dairy, cheese processing plant & municipal solid waste treatment plant
- 3. Stop #1: Waste Management Landfill at Altamont Waste Mgmt & Linde collect landfill gas - upgrade, liquefy & dispense LBG for trucks 13,000 gallons of LBG produced daily
- 4. Stop #2: Fiscalini Dairy, Modesto Fiscalini Dairy flushes, collects & digests cow manure Biogas powers on-site generators that provide electricity for dairy & others
- 5. Stop #3: Hilmar Dairy Met up with Hilarides Dairy milk hauler that was converted to run on CBG Hilmar is central processing location for many area dairies Digester could be used for biomethane in the future
- 6. Stop #4: City of Turlock MSW Facility Turlock’s MSW facility handles waste from around the area Digester creates biogas that fuels large fuel cell Fuel cell generates electricity for the city
