Sustainable Solutions for Dairy Companies Biogas has turned whey into biogas to help power a dairy in north-eastern Italy. Through an anaerobic digestion process, the by-product of cheese-making at the Latteria e Caseificio Moro dairy is converted into biogas and liquid digestate, which consists of undigested material and dead microorganisms. The anaerobic digestion process can be applied to whey, buttermilk and other dairy byproducts, while the solid digestate can be used as an organic fertiliser.
