Edward Johnstonbaugh, extension program specialist at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), focuses on the fundamentals of design and operation of anaerobic digesters that generate electricity in a combined heat and power format.

Matthew McVey

Matthew McVey, a doctoral graduate student at Penn State, covers emerging concepts and current research interests in the field of anaerobic digestion. He discusses new and emerging feedstocks, processes for enhancing digestion performance, novel markets for digestion products, and the necessity for new business models to be designed around farm digesters.

“Even though the practice of anaerobic digestion has been around for a long time, there continues to be the emergence of novel techniques and exciting research associated with the topic,” said McVey.

Johnstonbaugh worked for a number of years in the electric utility and electricity delivery business. Since joining Penn State Extension, he has concentrated on renewable energy generation in distributed settings. McVey is a doctoral graduate student in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Penn State. His current research focus is on enhanced anaerobic digestion of poultry litter.
