Is there power potential in mushroom waste? Ag-Grid Energy is investigating

October 2, 2016 |

In Pennsylvania, Ag-Grid Energy has selected the Anaerobic Digestion Lab Test Network to perform a set of four lab tests on Solid Mushroom Substrates including Biomethane Potential (BMP) testing.

Ag-Grid Energy hopes to convert agricultural and organic waste into renewable energy, compost and support local area practices that support a sustainable environment. They intend to finance, build, own (jointly), operate the waste to energy conversion facilities in US.

Team Biogas has brought together a selected group of private, commercial and accredited Universities with an emphasis on Applied Research strategically located in North America. These specially selected Labs are equipped, trained and managed to provide Standard single or Continuous Feed or Custom lab tests for Bio-solid Packages, Biogas production, pre/post consumer waste and food production for Anaerobic Digestion.

“We are exploring new ground performing this set of lab tests on Solid Mushroom Substrates and were extremely diligent in our search for the right partners to team with. Angela McEliece with RCM Digesters, the staff at Team Biogas and the designated lab were very professional and easy to work with. The lab tests were performed to our exact specifications and the data provided in the final report was presented in a detailed and easy to understand format. This is a significant first step for our new company. We will certainly use them for future lab tests” said Rashi Akki, Founder and CEO, A.g-Grid Energy.
