OPPORTUNITIES IN MINNESOTA FOR
EXPANDED BIOGAS DEVELOPMENT
AMANDA BILEK
GREAT PLAINS INSTITUTE
Great Plains Institute
15-yr. old non-partisan, non-profit that:
1. Develops better energy policy via consensus.
2. Catalyzes deployment of best energy
technologies, practices & programs.
3. Provides reliable analysis & decision tools.
Mission: To transform the way we produce,
distribute and consume energy to be both
economically and environmentally sustainable.
Why Biogas?
Constant and flexible source of energy
Environmental
Benefits
Waste Management Tool
Reduced Pathogens
Energy Crop Establishment
Water Quality Protection
Reduced Carbon Emissions
Economic Benefits
Energy Sales
Source of Heat
Environmental Credits
Avoided Tipping Fees
Nutrient Recovery
California Low Carbon Fuel Standard
• Sets a percentage of
carbon intensity
reduction over time
• Any mix of fuels used to
meet reduction goals
• Biogas CNG: lowest

Federal Renewable Fuel Standard
• 36 billion gallons by
2022
• Mandates increasing
renewable fuel supplies
for transportation fuels
– Biogas is as a qualifying
fuel to generate credits
– 77,000 Btu = 1 gal.
