European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform

21 - 22 March 2016, Milan, Italy

This seminar will be given in two session: (1) Manure processing and treatment of agricultural effluents (March 21) and (2) Improved Nutrient and Energy management through Anaerobic Digestion (March 22). In session 1, technologies and measures to mitigate nitrogen nutrient pressure will be discussed, as well as Environmental Impact Assessment and suitable measures at the level of water courses, including added eco-services. Session 2 will focus on the central role that anaerobic digestion can play as a third processing pillar for modern agriculture, next to plant and animal production. The session will deal with topics ranging from sustainable input, over conversion process to energy & end-product valorization.

Joint conference of the INEMAD and GR3 partners to present the results of these two projects. Common ground of the two projects is the production of biogas from agricultural or municipal residues. Where GR3 is mainly looking at the supply chain to support the use of grass clippings for biogas production, INEMAD is looking at agricultural inputs to produce biogas and biobased fertilizers.
