Circular Economy in action: Using digestate to cultivate microalgae for fish and animal feed

ALG-AD is exploring ways to develop a circular approach to microalgae cultivation, utilising the by products from the AD/biogas industry, to generate products of value for another.
The team have built three facilities which are already using the nutrients in digestate to cultivate microalgae.
So far, the ALG-AD team have focussed on production of biomass for use as an animal feed, however additional funding has been allocated to the team to expand on the work already done to also cultivate algae for use as a fish feed. […]

NUTRIMAN: conversion application-driven science into user-driven “ready-for-practice”

NUTRIMAN is a Nitrogen and Phosphorus recovery thematic network compiling knowledge of “ready-for-practice” recovered bio-based fertilizer technologies, products, applications, and practices for the interest and benefit of agricultural practitioners. The NUTRIMAN thematic network focus on summarizing, sharing, and presenting existing best practices and research findings that are more or less ready for practice, but not sufficiently known or used by practitioners yet. […]
