In 2024, the U.S. EPA, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank and in support of the aims of the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Biogas Subcommittee, hosted a four-part training series: Best Practices on Landfill and Organic Waste Management. During the second virtual training on 29 October 2024, Methane Mitigation Through Best Practices for Organic Waste Treatment, speakers provided an overview of various organic waste treatment options, including anaerobic digestion, composting, and emerging trends like black soldier fly technology, to reduce methane emissions. Participants learned about the benefits and challenges of each method. The session also covers the production of value-added products from organic waste treatment, such as digestate and compost, and their potential applications.
