CTUIR to host biogas workshop focused on food and energy systems
The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation will hold a community biogas workshop Dec. 4-5 to share training, education and feasibility information on renewable natural gas development, according to a CTUIR press release. The event will highlight anaerobic digestion technology and include free hands-on kits demonstrating the chemistry and engineering involved.
CTUIR’s First Foods Policy Program is partnering with biogas expert David House to lead the workshop. According to CTUIR Climate Adaption Planner Colleen Sanders, the gathering will help regional partners discuss potential benefits, barriers and future goals for food production and renewable energy systems. Technical discussions will take place Dec. 4 at the Nixyaawii Governance Center, with a virtual participation option available. The Dec. 5 community session at the Mission Longhouse will include participants from agriculture, public utilities, waste management and regional food sectors. Participants who register by Nov. 26 will receive a free copy of “The Complete Biogas Handbook.”
