Yes, there are a  number of "privately" owned AD projects operating on 
various foodwaste and agricultural waste products. Perhaps you might 
define "non-subsidized"? All projects are picking up some form of tax 
credits, grants, or renewable energy credits. I consider these subsidies 
however perhaps you mean something else?

A related question: are there any privately funded, non-subsidized, 
successful AD Projects in North America?

Hello all-
I realize this is a topic that must get attention fairly often from this 
group, so apologies if I'm asking you to revisit too recent of a post.  
I'm interested in finding out what subsidies and funding streams are 
currently available to the AD community for digester projects and AD 
businesses operating in the U.S.  I'm aware of some limited carbon trading 
and occasional grants from the USDA for large-scale agricultural 
operations but, aside from that, what subsidies or outside funding are AD 
companies able to obtain?  Are their subsidies available to their 
clients?  What aspects of the recent stimulus bill (if any) have been 
successfully applied to the AD field and how far are those funds from 
drying up?  Are there any state specific programs that any of you are 
familiar with?  Also, is there a portion of the AD community that is 
currently organized enough to have a voice and a presence in Washington, 
D.C.?  If not, what channels are start-up! ! s using to promote the 
technology and/or industry as a whole?

Thanks ahead of time for your responses.

Sincerely,
