Dairy methane emissions: from threat to opportunity A very interesting study published today and carried out by carried out by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and International Fugitive Emissions Abatement Association (IFEAA) discovered that methane emissions from slurry stores on dairy farms could be five times higher than official statistics suggest. Prof Penny Atkins, IFEAA CEO, said: "The cumulative contribution of methane from dairy farm manure management is significant and this data shows we must act now to curb emissions."

Yesterday, our Founder, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Chris Mann spoke to Mel Osborne on BBC Radio Cornwall to discuss Bennamann’s journey and how we can support cooling down the planet and meeting the methane pledge through our Fugitive Methane Capture solutions.   You can listen by following the link below, Chris’ 12 minute interview begins at the 3:35:00 mark https://lnkd.in/ejMXfjwX

Our Chairman and CTO Dr Chris Mann explains the Bennamann Ltd methane capture and upgrading technology to Southwest Farmer readers.

Great news to hear IFEAA Chair and former Secretary of State for the environment, George Eustice, inform us all, both on the understatement of methane emissions from slurry, and that there are immediate true environmental and economical solutions. Bennamann is one of them! We claim livestock is not a threat, it has become a solution

The World Ayrshire Federation UK 2024 Conference will host 200 Ayrshire breeders and enthusiasts from all over the world. As part of the southwest leg of their tour, the conference is due to visit Trenerry Farm, home to  the Christophers family and the award-winning Rosehill Ayrshire’s, pride of David Christophers. Trenerry is one of the first farm's to adopt the Bennamann gas capture and methane upgrading technology as part of the 6 farm pilot project with Cornwall Council and continues to be one of the biggest champions of our solution. David has reported significant savings in his chemical fertiliser requirements, and a big reduction in his spreading schedule with increased storage capacity in his lagoon. Thanks to the quality of the 100% natural digestate produced as part of the Bennamann process, the health, quality and regeneration of the soil and grass has enabled the Rosehill Aryshire herd to enjoy a better cud – completing the circular economy in which the Bennamann system works. The Biomethane is upgraded on farm and collected by Bennamann and then sold, creating an additional revenue for the farmer. Trenerry Farm is another Bennamann farm which is on the way to becoming Net Zero in terms of CO2 emissions. We are looking forward to meeting the delegates during their visit on Tuesday 2nd July and our expert team will be on to hand to explain how it works in converting cow slurry into clean, useable biomethane on farm.

Today we are celebrating International Women in Engineering Day #INWED24 Kate Shirley is one of our Technical Sales Engineers and has been with Bennamann from the very beginning. Kate has worked within the energy and renewable sector for many years and brings with her a wealth of engineering knowledge and experience. As a Technical Sales Engineer, Kate is responsible for visiting farms to establish the methane gas potential of their slurrylagoons, and to determine the feasibility of the Bennamann technology on the farm. From this, a workable design is created offering the best solution for the customer. To develop world leading technology as we do, Bennamann build successful teams based on individuals who are experts in their fields and we pride ourselves on building and nurturing talent. When asked ‘Why Bennamann?’ Kate said: “Bennamann is full of brilliant, smart people. Without being too sappy it brings peace to my soul to know I’m part of something that can be such a force for good and can make a real difference in improving our world. My role allows me to meet lots of hard working farmers and to help them to realise the benefits our technology can offer which is really fulfilling.” #INWED24 #womeninengineering #bennamann #cnh #newhollandagriculture #biomethane #FugitiveEmissions #methaneupgrading #methanecapture #sustainablefarming #energyindependence #dairyfarminguk #slurrypower

Bennamannn Ltd, thanks to CEMA and CNH, through the participation of Gilles Mayer, our Director for Public affairs, Marketing & International Development, was thrilled to bring to the table yesterday in Rome to United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization expertise in Biomethane on farm production with our Energy Independant Farm experience. Many great and relevant questions from the audience around alternative fuels and Biomethane benefits made the discussions very interesting. On of them being when the technology will be available. The answer was : "it is available, we are starting the roll-out from the UK" Bennamann: Fuelling an off-Grid revolution

Proud of working together for the future of farming, and making a hard to abate sector one of the most promising for sustainability.

Excellent. Merci Nicolas et Terre TV! En capturant le méthane naturel des effluents et en le détruisant en créant de l’énergie, l’exploitation s’affranchit progressivement des charges aléatoires de l’énergie carbonée et réduit ses coûts et son emprunte carbone en même temps. L’élevage n’est plus une cause de réchauffement climatique comme certains le décrient mais devient une solution. Nous avons en Angleterre les premières exploitations à emprunte CO2 négatives, qui régénèrent leurs sols et réduisent leurs coûts opérationnels.
