During the first year, the project consortium has focused its efforts on reviewing the current practices in and regulation on biogas production. Due to the water protection viewpoint of the project, the areas of particular interest have included the management of nutrient-rich digestates, the treatment of reject waters, and the recycling of nutrients.
After the holiday season, the project partners will kick off several development activities and invite stakeholders to participate. These include the development plans for sustainable biogas production as well as the nutrient management plans for the project’s case areas (Southwest Finland, Åland and Zemgale), the development of quality systems for recycled fertilizers in Finland and Latvia, and exploring the use of sewage sludge-based digestates.
