Just as incinerators often start out burning forestry waste, and end up using virgin wood once supply of «waste» runs out, so
too anaerobic digestion plants may begin by using food waste, and end up utilizing forest products or other «biofuels» grown deliberately for the purpose.
And as this friend pointed out — it would be nice to think that once each waste - to - energy
anaerobic digestion plant has used up the readily available stream of waste, the operator will open up another
plant elsewhere to use waste there
too.
