    Category: General The Power of Organic Waste: Renewable Natural Gas for Minnesota


    September 26, 2019

    Plan to join environmental non-profit Energy Vision for a FREE one-day workshop hosted by CenterPoint Energy — in collaboration with academic, industry, government and NGO partners — on the production and use of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) made from Minnesota's organic wastes, with a particular focus on agricultural, municipal and food processing materials that have long been discarded at high economic and environmental cost.

    Nationwide, interest in RNG is ramping up as an important waste management strategy and an energy and fuel resource. To date, only a handful of projects are up and running or under development in MN, but the potential for RNG is significant and represents a strategy that can help the state meet its ambitious economic development, environmental, air quality and climate goals.

    At this event you will learn about:
    - Biogas/RNG case studies: farms, food processors and wastewater
    - Economic opportunities for Minnesota and the upper Midwest
    - Business models and policy pathways
    - Low emissions uses and high-value end markets for RNG
    - Closing the loop on emissions and organic waste
    - Cleaning up the energy, transportation and industrial sectors with RNG

    Doors open at 7:30. Event starts at 8:00.

    Join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) staff and volunteers on September 28 from 9-11 am for our follow up planting event at Cherokee Regional Park – one of St. Paul's most visited parks. Last year we begin work needed to restore this historically oak savanna and maple-basswood forested bluff-top park by planting a mix of native prairie plants and we will add to the planting this year. These showy flowers and grasses will not only beautify the park but provide much-needed bee, butterfly and bird habitat. And, with deep root systems that act like filters, they'll help reduce the amount of run-off pollution and secure the soil along the bluff.
    All are welcome, but capacity is limited and registration is required. As always, all tools and training will be provided and volunteers are encouraged to work at their own pace and comfort level.

    Join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR), Flint Hills Resources and Great River Greening as we return to the Flint Hills property within the Pine Bend Bluffs Natural Area along the Mississippi River - one of the largest and most diverse native ecosystems left in the metro area! The site is only accessible to the public for special occasions like this annual restoration and celebration event. Join us for a chance to see it for yourself on Saturday, October 26, 9 a.m.-noon.
    Working with FMR and Great River Greening ecologists and staff, volunteers will help protect these native plant communities by removing invasive species, primarily helping to stack pre-cut buckthorn brush, and assisting with other restoration tasks as needed. All tools and supplies will be provided, including coffee, morning snacks and a hot lunch to conclude the event!
    As always, all are welcome and encouraged to work at their own comfort level. However, due to the nature of the work on this site volunteers must be 15 years of age or older. You will need to individually register each person in your party, including full name, address and phone number.
