Resolving challenges associated with manure and by-product management in the livestock sector through the product of renewable energy and organic fertilizer
Manure management is one of the biggest problems of the livestock sector due to the associated environmental emissions and risk of ground water pollution, among others. Manure has potential as biomass raw material due to its content in organic matter and nitrogenous compound. Manure and food waste can be utilized for production of renewable energy and organic fertiliser. Biogal is a model for farm-based biogas production in the pig sector, tilizing pig manure and food waste for production of biogas and digestate fertilizer
All biomass streams are valorized through a fermentation process, BIOGAL produces biogas used to generate energy and heat. The post-fermentation mass results in an organic fertilizer. It could be used directly as raw material or dried and granulated to create a marketable product.
The global Biogas market size was valued at USD 64714.07 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period, reaching USD 95491.5 million by 2028
