Turning dairy residues into renewable energy
This demonstration site in Slovenia focuses on the valorisation of solid manure residues from dairy farming. The demo explores how solid digestate can be transformed into renewable energy carriers through thermochemical processes.
Solid manure management can be challenging for small and medium dairy farms. This demo provides innovative pathways to reduce manure volumes while generating renewable energy from agricultural residues.
Solid digestate from dairy manure is dried and converted into energy carriers such as syngas. This process demonstrates how solid manure residues can contribute to on-farm energy production.
The demo applies solid digestate drying and thermochemical conversion technologies adapted to dairy farming conditions. These technologies support energy recovery from solid manure streams.
The demo contributes to reduced manure disposal needs, increased renewable energy generation and strengthened circular bioeconomy practices in dairy farming.
