anaerobic digestion

Delegates at the NNFCC On-Farm AD and Methane Capture Summit heard from industry experts about the significant benefits of micro AD plants and how financial and political support are urgently needed to increase adoption

A new technology which utilises methane from slurry to power on-farm generators could help make biogas energy more accessible for UK dairy farmers

Installing an anaerobic digestion (AD) plant in 2012 provided a new income stream for an arable farm looking to reduce risk through diversification

Scale, self-sufficiency and spreading risk are three elements of the beef business model that are key to the Dore family's success

Energy crops for anaerobic digestion can offer attractive alternatives for combinable crop growers, but what should farmers bear in mind before committing to a deal to produce crops or let land?

Growing maize and other suitable crops for biogas production could offer farmers a stable, long-term market for their produce, as well as a fresh break-crop option

Applying foliar nitrogen during the summer meets the nutrient needs of maize more effectively than applying all the fertiliser early in the season says new research from the Maize Growers Association

A low-tech solution to help farmers make more money from their muck could also help reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance from sewage and manure

Pilot trials assessing the feasibility of pasteurising and separating digestate in mobile trailers are due to complete at the end of June
