The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin - Office of Energy Innovation (OEI) and University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point (UWSP) have initiated a statewide Biogas Feedstock and Industry Survey. The survey aims to explore and assess the current status, challenges, and future opportunities of biogas facilities throughout Wisconsin.
In partnership with both students and staff at UWSP, more than 250 Wisconsin facilities, including wastewater treatment facilities, landfills, industrial and food processing facilities, were asked to participate through electronic and mail survey submission. This project serves as a follow-up to OEI's Biogas Survey Report conducted in 2015.
Staff and students plan to collect responses until the end of January and provide a final report of its findings to the public by April 2021.

Renewable Natural Gas as a Climate Strategy:
Guidance for State Policymakers
Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biomethane or upgraded biogas, is growing in prominence as a strategy to help achieve state climate, waste management, and other sustainability goals. However, questions remain on whether projects can be easily deployed, the extent to which they can contribute to ambitious climate and environmental goals, and the trade-offs of supporting RNG versus alternative decarbonization strategies. This paper provides comprehensive guidance for policymakers on evaluating RNG resource potential, greenhouse gas emissions impacts, and deployment and policy options at the state level.
