SUMMARY:Unlocking The Potential Of Slurry As A Renewable Energy Source On Farm
DESCRIPTION:With thanks to Bennamann\n\n\nAs farmers\, we are used to considering gas emissions from slurry stores as an air quality nuisance.

This can then be used as power and fuel on-farm\, reducing operating\, energy\, fuel and fertiliser costs while improving the carbon footprint and profitability of the business. \nJoin us for an online workshop where Bennamann will explain how their ‘game-changing’ technology works while discussing: \n\nSlurry management\nSlurry Infrastructure Grant (SIG) Funding\nOn-farm energy generation\nMobile gas upgrading\nRenewable transport fuel certificates\n\nAre you ready for a clean energy revolution on your farm? \nWorkshop details:\nThis will be an online session\, delivered via Zoom.
