The Manure-to-Energy Initiative (M2E) is a collaboration to demonstrate technologies in on-farm systems which, through gasification, convert poultry litter to heat and/or electrical energy, with ash as the principal co-product for incorporation in fertilizer.
This document is meant to be a guide for anyone interested in the thermochemical conversion of poultry litter to heat and/or electricity to aid in the restoration of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Farms in the mid-Atlantic are the specific focus. Information is provided about possible funding and financial resources in the form of grants, loans, loan guarantees, cost share programs, and other miscellaneous opportunities.
