Project related text:
In total ten agricultural enterprises spread over Hungary take part in project activity. They all are running farms for pig breeding and/or dairy cattle. At the moment the manure of the animals is stored in deep open lagoons or earth basins. Methane escapes unobstructed to the atmosphere where it works as a greenhouse gas and contributes to global warming.
Each of the enterprises in this bundle plan the construction of a biogas plant which will use the methane from the manure energetically. Instead of storing manure in the lagoons, manure will be digested in the biogas plant to produce CO2 neutral energy. The product of the biogas process, the digestate, is a very good natural fertilizer and can be used instead of artificially produced fertilizers.
Current status of the project Under construction
Total verified emission reductions 0.0 t CO2 equivalent
