Alltech’s Post

A great way to start day 2 of the World Biogas Expo with the announcement that Alltech has joined the Mid-Ulster Biorefinery and Circular Economy Cluster. The Mid-Ulster Biorefinery project will address the volumes of agricultural resources while providing nutrients, energy and carbon services in agriculture, and producing cross-sectoral decarbonization among the businesses involved, ultimately culminating in a new AD plant.

🚀 **Unlocking the Future of Sustainable Agriculture with Biogas and Microorganisms** 🌱 As the world continues to seek solutions for a more sustainable future, the production of biogas from large-scale dairy operations (CAFOs) is gaining significant attention. While this approach promises to reduce methane emissions and generate renewable energy, recent discussions have highlighted the need to consider its broader environmental impact. A new report raises important points about biogas production from CAFOs, including concerns about nutrient runoff and ammonia emissions. However, there's an innovative twist that can turn the tide: Treating manure with microorganisms ! Here’s why this combination is a game-changer: 1. Methane Mitigation: Capturing methane from manure lagoons through anaerobic digestion prevents its release into the atmosphere, effectively reducing greenhouse gases. 2. Enhanced Biofertilizer: With the introduction of microorganisms, manure can be treated to capture nitrogen, creating a high-quality, nutrient-rich biofertilizer. This reduces the risk of nutrient runoff and ammonia emissions, protecting our water and air quality. 3. Sustainable Energy: Biogas production provides a renewable energy source that can displace fossil fuels, further decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. 4. Balanced Growth: While concerns about the growth of CAFOs are valid, implementing microorganism treatment can ensure that the environmental benefits outweigh the drawbacks, fostering a more balanced approach to agricultural expansion. It's clear that biogas, coupled with innovative microorganism treatment, holds immense potential for a greener future. By leveraging these technologies, we can turn environmental challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth and cleaner energy. Let’s continue the conversation and explore how we can integrate these advancements into our practices for a more sustainable world! 🌍💡 Leave your thoughts pro/contra in the comments. It is a more complex topic, so I would like to highlight part of the positive effects as well. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Biogas #EnvironmentalImpact #GreenTech #AgricultureInnovation #CleanEnergy #Microorganisms --- Check out the full report for more insights: [Link to Article](https://lnkd.in/ePBNY6-T)

The main topic is #feedstock and low footprint #fuels. I think the article fails when they claim #industrial crops or alternative feedstock options are not possible or increase use of inputs and emissions while we know they can be #bioenergycrops cultivated as #regenerative or #resilient #agriculture. This is a kind of cynic while most areas of conventional #farming in the EU have suffered negative impacts in soil and water for decades (heavily subsidized and massive diesel and fertilizers applications with impacts on taxpayers). The truth behind scalation for #bioeconomy is always linked to environmental development and management with biomass handling services, the greening of #marginal #degraded #lands and smart #activeforestry management being managed responsibly. This of course will involve #reforestation, #afforestation, #perennial #grasses and several combinations with #food crops and waste management solutions as well as high-tech automation for collection and harvesting equipment, #treacibility and #verification as well as #carbon #credits.

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION: A GREEN REVOLUTION COMING TO WESTMEATH In Westmeath, a transformative shift is underway, harnessing the power of anaerobic digestion to address climate challenges and cultivate renewable energy sources. Anaerobic digestion, a natural process converting organic waste into biogas and valuable fertilizers, holds immense potential for our agricultural-centric county. While currently devoid of anaerobic digestion facilities, Westmeath stands poised to embrace this sustainable solution. With Ireland aiming for 130 facilities by 2030, let's pioneer green innovation and pave the way for a more sustainable future. #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GreenInnovation Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02mpHGf0

Empowering the Agriculture Value Chain 🌱 💡 Biogas technology can reduce methane emissions in the agri-food industry and convert industrial wastewater into biogas for clean and renewable energy, carbon credits, and natural fertilizers. However, for many food processors in emerging countries, these technologies are neither accessible nor affordable. Gree Energy bridges this gap. Our key strength lies in cutting-edge technology and uncompromising standards, ensuring not only a sustainable future but also one that is financially viable. As a B Corp certified company, we remain committed to redefining economic and environmental sustainability. We highlight the transformative potential of biogas, unlocking new opportunities for responsible growth within the agriculture value chain. Join Gree Energy to usher the area of sustainable economic growth within the agriculture value chain.

This is SUPER IMPORTANT 🎙️ ”Based on feedstock, municipal waste stands as the PREDOMINANT feedstock in the biomethane market, representing the largest segment. This is attributed to the increasing recognition of municipal waste as a valuable resource for biomethane production” says ”Research and Markets” ⤵️ Let us remember that food waste, through anaerobic digestion, is an important source of renewable ENERGY 💨& sustainable FERTILIZER 🌼🌿💪 https://lnkd.in/dusJ7EYx

ECONWARD’s Counterplan for Landfill-Bound Organics Spanish technology developer ECONWARD is targeting this challenging organics stream with a system that enables it to be pulled out and prepared for anaerobic digestion to make renewable natural gas. Branded as Biomak, it leverages thermal hydrolysis, which uses pressure and heat to break down organic material to the point that it separates from the inorganics.

Bioenergy Australia signed the Turin Joint Statement on Sustainable Biofuels, along with 75 other industry leaders, trade associations, and R&D organisations, to highlight the role of sustainable biofuels in decarbonising all transport sectors, promoting environmental sustainability, innovation, and creating value for communities. The Statement focuses attention on actions that G7 countries can take to increase the pace and scale of sustainable biofuels deployment and was presented to the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers’ Meeting in Turin, Italy on 29 April. During the Forum Gilberto Pichetto, Italy’s Minister of the Environment and Energy Security stated: “Sustainable biofuels can and must provide a fundamental contribution to the decarbonisation of the transport sector at a global level, bringing significant benefits: greater energy security, ease of integration into current logistics, fuel storage and distribution systems as well as use in existing vehicles, promotion of a circular economy logic and creation of value for local communities, promoting sustainable agricultural and forestry practices".
