How Incentives Affect the Adoption of Anaerobic Digesters in the United States

Anh Sam / Xiang Bi / Derek Farnsworth

Various government incentives support the adoption of anaerobic digester systems to manage farm waste and serve as a source of renewable energy in the United States. We examine the effectiveness of US state-level incentives promoting the adoption of anaerobic digester systems. We find that performance-based incentives and adoption of renewable portfolio standards best promote anaerobic digester system adoption.
