Needs/ Problem statement
Livestock sector has several challenges
because of the management of the
resources and wastes produced. Manure is
one of the biggest problems of the sector
due to the associated risk of ground wáter
pollution, among others. Manure has
potential as raw material due to its content in
organic matter and nitrogenous compound.
Objective
biomass streams are valorised
through a fermentation process which produces biogas used to
generate energy and heat
