WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Avatar Energy, a renewable energy company based in Walnut Creek, Calif., develops pioneering technologies that capture renewable energy from organic waste products, increase agricultural profitability, and sustainability. Avatar’s revolutionary anaerobic digester is the world’s first scalable system to employ a tubular, modular design platform suitable for any size farm, but geared particularly to small- and mid-sized operations.
Designed to take advantage of the huge economic resources available in organic waste, our digester enables farmers to capture “biogas” derived from cow manure and convert it into energy that can power the farm and generate a new stream of income from “green power” by-product sales. Sanitized solids from the digester can be used or sold for animal bedding or compost, or can be pelletized and burned for fuel. Liquid digester effluent yields a nitrogen-rich, primarily pathogen-free fertilizer that can be sold or sprayed on crops, and a phosphorus-rich sludge can be used or sold for use in hydroponic gardening applications.
Our sealed system diminishes potential for manure leakage into the watershed, reducing the risk of crop contamination. It also dramatically reduces odor emissions by more than 90 percent. With reduced odor comes a reduction in vector breeding that can plague animal operations. These benefits make for a more cost-efficient, hygienic operation that contributes to the remediation of air and groundwater, yielding safer, cleaner, less costly grains and produce for the public and improved relations with adjacent communities.
Founded in January 2005, Avatar Energy develops pioneering technologies that capture renewable energy from organic waste products. With corporate offices in Walnut Creek, Calif., and an R&D, manufacturing, and demonstration site in Burlington, Vt., Avatar Energy is poised to meet the changing demands of America’s farms.
