I would say anaerobic digestion is an established technology, so I do not get the innovative aspect of this technology. The company I work for has built 25 facilities like this in the last 25 years, treating all kinds of waste, ranging from pretreated household waste to kitchen and garden waste.

In 2010 the US produced 33.79 million tonnes of food waste, the single largest source of municipal waste. I could foresee buildings in a city like New York installing similar systems, they could generate a significant percentage of the buildings energy use, cut by ~30% the waste produced by the building which would save huge amounts of money from sanitation departments and landfills and by laminating food scraps from rubbish collections you remove most of what attracts scavengers to rubbish awaiting collection. If the systems don’t scale down well you could pool for a system between a few buildings or even all the buildings on a block.
