  1. The contribution of biogas plants to nutrient management planning Adviser Torkild Birkmose, DAAS, Denmark Photo: Torben Skøtt, BioPress

  2. Biogas Biogas rests on tree legs Energy Agriculture Environment

  3. Agricultural advantages • Improved fertilizer value of nitrogen • Balanced P and K-balance in slurry • Homogeneous and light fluid • Full declaration of nutrients • Free from germs and seeds • Reduced costs for transportation of slurry

  4. Environmental advantages • Reduced nitrate leaching • Reduced odour problems • Reduced green house gas emission • Controlled recycling of organic waste

  5. Mixing and digesting slurry change the characteristic of the slurry

  6. Fertilizer value
