BIOMAN

Bioenergy and manure technology. The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the whole-chain GHG abatement potential of different conversion technologies, including biogas treatment of slurry and plant material, and combustion of a separated fibre fraction. Activities include assessment of soil N cycling and greenhouse gas emissions after application of anaerobically digested manure for soil fertility purposes. Specific aim is to describe and quantify the emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) after application of bio-energy residues to soil.
