In many rural areas, it remains common practice for farmers to spread cow or pig manure directly onto fields as a natural fertiliser to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. However, this method has several drawbacks, including methane emissions that contribute to climate change, groundwater pollution, and unpleasant odours in the surrounding area.

There is, however, a much more environmentally friendly approach to improving soil fertility. During the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants, bacteria produce methane while leaving behind a nutrient-rich liquid known as digestate. Recycling and reusing organic material as digestate offers significant environmental and economic benefits.

The greatest advantage of digestate is its ability to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When applied as a fertiliser or compost, digestate enriches the soil without releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere.

As a comprehensive biogas plant provider, we not only ensure efficient biogas and biomethane production but also offer complete digestate treatment services. This includes separating digestate into liquid and solid fractions, reducing its water content to enhance transportability and storage. Additionally, our hygienisation process removes pathogens, ensuring that only high-quality fertiliser is applied to fields. This improves soil health, reduces costs, and protects the environment.
