AI Contract Overview
Iowa State University is seeking qualified companies to lease land for the construction and operation of an anaerobic digestion facility near the ISU Dairy Farm.

The project emphasizes environmental sustainability, aiming to lower the carbon footprint of ISU’s farming activities, and includes provisions for research, data collection, and educational opportunities at the site. The contract, with a value estimated between five and fifteen million dollars, requires the lessee to demonstrate capability in handling diverse manure and biomass feedstocks, including cover crops and prairie grasses. Interested parties must register through the ISUBid system to access detailed requirements and submit responses online by the deadline of May 29, 2024. The initiative aligns with ISU’s broader sustainability and research objectives, fostering collaboration with industry partners to advance renewable energy solutions and sustainable agricultural practices on campus.
