Dive Summary:

• Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, created a system that uses organic waste to produce energy.
• The South Campus Anaerobic Digester is located on the grounds of the Dairy Cattle Teaching and Research facility and will turn 17,000 tons of waste from the dining hall and farm into electricity.
• The sealed tank operates at a high temperature, without oxygen, facilitating the decomposition of organic matter into methane, which is used as a fuel source.
