Students will be working this fall to install a pilot digester system at the Cornell Cooperative Farm in Canton, New York, and then evaluate the economic feasibility of treating agricultural waste at small farms to generate renewable energy. The scaled version of a 50-cow digester will allow for the completion of a mass and energy balance over an 18 month period.
