The presentation on food waste to renewable energy will provide an overview of an assessment DEP did as part of the 2021 Climate Action Plan on the potential of using food waste as feedstock for increased production and use of biogas as a renewable natural gas.

The radon awareness presentation provides a summary of the public health threats from radon in Pennsylvania and DEP Radon Program.

Also available is DEP’s January 2022 written report to the CAC on recent activities of the agency.
