Several studies have shown that anaerobic digesters integrated with combined heat and power systems (CHP/AD) are a financially attractive way to generate electricity, reduce odor, and improve nutrient management on hog farms; yet only very few systems have been installed to date. Employing published financial, economic, and environmental indicators, this study tests whether the benefits from CHP/AD identified in these studies can be replicated across all major hog-farming regions in the US. The study finds that a modest support of 1 cent per kWh is needed to assure that CHP/AD generated electricity is competitive with current utility rates in many hog-farming states. However, the study also shows that once CHP/AD systems are promoted hog-farming states stand to reap large benefits from CHP/AD, particularly environmental benefits (such as odor control and emissions reductions), economic benefits (in form of job creation), and added generating capacity.
