Biorenewables Development Centre, Dunnington, Tuesday 6th Nov 2018, 9:30am–1:30pm

The Biorenewables Development Centre is hosting this important event on the environmental impact of digestates on farmland, an area which is being watched closely.

Digestate from anaerobic digestion (AD) is a valuable fertiliser for crops but can also represent a pollution hazard to both soil and the air. This free workshop will consider the issue from the viewpoint of both policy makers and farmers and showcase some new technologies that might provide a solution for farmers as well as new value streams for AD operators. The event is followed by an optional networking lunch. Further details and how to register.
