Project related text:
The project seeks to improve animal waste management practices through the treatment of swine manure and waste in an anaerobic digester. The biogas from the digester will be utilized for electricity generation. Treated manure and waste will eventually be used to produce a mineral enriched natural fertilizer. The project thus introduces more environmentally-friendly treatment of manure and organic waste compared to current treatment practises of land application of manure, open air composting of biosludge at the Kuressaare city wastwater treatment plant and treatment of slaugtherhouse waste by incineration.

The project is expected to reduce a total of 88 516 tCO2eq over the crediting period from 2006 until 2012.
Current status of the project Operational
Total verified emission reductions 0.0 t CO2 equivalent
