Turning pig manure emissions into useful bio-based fertilisers
This demonstration site in Romania focuses on addressing air emissions from intensive pig farming by recovering ammonia from manure-related gases. The demo applies innovative gas valorisation technologies under real farm conditions to explore how emissions can be transformed into valuable nutrient products.
By capturing ammonia before it is released into the environment, the demo contributes to cleaner air, reduced odour and improved nutrient management at farm level.
Ammonia emissions from pig manure are a major environmental challenge, affecting air quality and contributing to nutrient losses. This demo addresses these challenges by testing practical solutions that recover nutrients directly at the source, supporting more sustainable livestock farming practices.
At this site, manure-related gases are treated using ammonia recovery technologies. The recovered nitrogen is converted into bio-based fertiliser products, demonstrating how emissions can be transformed into useful resources instead of being lost to the environment.
The demo applies gas treatment and nutrient recovery technologies designed to operate under real farming conditions. These technologies focus on capturing ammonia and converting it into fertilizer ingredients that can be reused in agriculture.
The demo supports reduced emissions, improved air quality and more efficient nutrient use in intensive pig farming. It also provides insights into scalable solutions that can be applied in similar farms across Europe.
