Student team converts dog waste into energy

The iProjects at ASU's College of Technology and Innovation bring students and industry together to find solutions to real-world problems. The City of Gilbert has partnered with one of the iProjects teams to design an anaerobic digester system that will convert dog waste into green energy.

This dog waste digester will be used at Cosmo Dog Park in Gilbert in an effort to minimize dog waste that is not properly disposed and waste that overwhelms landfills. The dog waste will be converted into methane gas that in turn generates energy to power a lamp at Cosmo Dog Park.
