• Holistic approach to waste management can create additional opportunities
• Hauled wastes and food wastes can make anaerobic digestion and biogas recovery feasible for smaller facilities
• Military installations have the ability to effectively control waste streams and implement co-digestion
• Newer technology allows digestion of higher solids waste streams providing greater flexibility and opportunity
• The ability to generate renewable electricity on-site helps meet both energy efficiency and energy security objectives
Benefits of “Re-thinking” Waste Management

• Additional opportunities exist when drinking water infrastructure is also considered:• Energy efficiency and process optimization improvements can
reduce operating costs
• Water conservation measures can result in the need to produce less drinking water and treat less wastewater
• Improved metering and optimized treated water recovery can help limit unaccounted for water use and improve revenue generation
• Wastewater effluent reuse and sewer mining may create additional water sources for non-potable uses
Going Beyond Waste Management

Energy Savings Performance Contracts
• Energy and Security Goals require action now
• Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) offer a way to leverage future guaranteed savings to finance projects today
• Approaching initiatives (energy management, water conservation, waste management and security) in a comprehensive manner may yield additional opportunities and allow more dramatic improvements to be realized
