🌱 DTU Sustain researchers Peter Kjeldsen, Julie Maria Falk, and Charlotte Scheutz have in their BioMet project examined reduction of methane gas emissions from Danish pig farms. The research focused on installing a filter on a specific pig farm in Gilleleje where the results have exceeded expectations! 🌟 🤝The project is a collaboration with COWI, SEGES Innovation, Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, and PFH Miljø og Anlæg. 🔬The research will continue in BioMet 2.0 where further research on methane gas reduction will be conducted on more pig farms in Denmark #DTU #TechnologyForPeople #Methane #Engineering #Sustainability #Innovation #SDGs2023 #greenhousegases #ClimateAction

In the winter of 2022, DTU established a full-scale biofilter at a pig farm in Gilleleje. The filter breaks down the extremely potent greenhouse gas methane from the manure. And the results from the biofilter far exceeded the expectations. The BioMet project has demonstrated that biofilters can be a cost-effective technological solution for reducing methane emissions from slurry tanks, and the results are so promising that the research group has now been granted additional funding for technology maturation. “The new grant enables us to continue to monitor the biofilter in Gilleleje and later this year establish two more biofilter plants at other pig producers,” says Charlotte Scheutz , Professor and head of the project.

The project was supported by the Danish Agricultural Agency's GUDP programme and ran from 2020 to 2023. #DTUdk #TechnologyForPeople #Engineering #Sustainability #Innovation #SDGs2030 #greenhousegases

I am absolutely delighted to announce that my Ph.D. article, titled "Energy-use audit and data envelopment analysis based optimization of tillage and residue management in rice-wheat system of Indo-Gangetic plains", has been published in the Renewable Energy journal (Impact Factor of 9.0) The study explores tillage systems and their energy use efficiency in rice-wheat system using Data Enevelopment Analysis (DEA). The findings contribute to advancing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly farming approaches, aligning with the global goal of sustainable agriculture.

I'm excited to see that the #MiraiScreen is able to contribute to project VitiCULT. #ClimageChange is already impacting when, where, and how crops can grow. In this context we have adapted #MiraiSolar 's #PV Shade Screen to mitigate these negative effects. Like many #Solar companies we focus our efforts on producing #Renewable #energy , but this project has allowed the Mirai Screen to showcase its multifaceted capabilities. The #MiraiScreen blocks most of the sunlight, only allowing a fraction through, this protects the vines from increased temperature all while producing energy. #MiraiSolar #PV #Agritech #Agrivoltaics #RE #RenewableEnergy #Solar #CleanTech #GreenTech #Climatech #Photovoltaic

Join the IEA PVPS Action Group Workshop on Agrivoltaics at EU PVSEC 2024! "The Landscape of Agrivoltaics: In Between People and Technology" 🗓️ Tuesday, 24 September 2024 | 17:00 - 18:30 📍 Austria Center Vienna (ACV), Room 1.61 The workshop will address crucial social issues in agrivoltaics, including: ➡ Just Processes: Cross-sector collaboration, farmer and community engagement ➡ Equitable Outcomes: Distributive justice, business models ➡ Legal Frameworks/Policy: Consistent standards, market mechanisms Agrivoltaics is socially represented as: ➡ A facade masking classic photovoltaics ➡ Either a danger or a blessing (unjust-just) for wounded territories ➡ A risk for current agronomic systems ➡ A less accepted way to commodify land and landscape than tourism or agronomy Additionally, we will explore normative issues and social acceptance, with a focus on the Italian case: ➡ A legal framework for Agri-PV social acceptance ➡ Legal awareness and regulation arising from technology achievements Join our experts: Alessandra Scognamiglio, Jordan Macknick, Alexis Pascaris, Mirella de Falco, Celeste Mellone, Izumi Kaizuka, Gaëtan Masson, Heinz Ossenbrink, Eva Vandest. 🔍 Check the full programme in the attached slides! ⚠️ The Parallel Events at EUPVSEC are open to all registered conference participants. 🔗 Create your personalised schedule for EUPVSEC here: https://lnkd.in/dZNWWRt8 🔗 Find more information about this workshop here: https://lnkd.in/d-RRqgAq #Agrivoltaics #EUPVSEC2024 #Sustainability #IEAPVPS

Tomorrow I will talk about how regional schemes could contribute to making the CRCF Regulation operational. To overcome the risks of non-permance, and to recognise the value of the multiple co-benefits that sustainable farming practices can deliver, it is vital that financiers and operators work together in partnership. In the Project Credible, we welcome experts to participate in several Focus Groups, to help develop recommendations to the European Commission and to participate in the next European Carbon Farming Summit (March/2025).

What is the #bioeconomy? It's when an enterprise primarily uses renewable biological resources. #MainstreamBIO is a #HorizonEU-funded project which sets out to get small-scale bio-based solutions into mainstream practice across rural Europe - catch their webinar tomorrow to find out more for an introduction to the concept and its potential.

In this week's Newsletter: Impact Case Studies 2019-2024 Robert Gross et al. As part of our 'UKERC at 20' celebrations, we have produced a series of case studies that show how UKERC has made a difference to UK energy research and policy in our current funding period. It explains why each one is important, what the UKERC impacts are, and provides underpinning evidence. Four Myths About Vertical Farming Debunked Dr Zoe M Harris Vertical farming is growing in popularity. Challenges to its growth include high costs and energy consumption, but renewable energy sources can mitigate this. This article explores four common myths, and highlights that whilst it is not a complete solution, it enhances food security and resilience in the face of #climatechange. New Research on Neurodiversity in the Energy Sector Vanda Papafilippou Vanda recently attended UKERC's 'Diversifying the Energy Sector' event. In this blog she highlights a project on #neurodiversity in the energy sector that she is working on. The article includes videos about the project and a call for participants in the IGNITE Network+ funded initiative. Plus #jobs, #funding and #events ⚡ ⚡ bit.ly/4dlb0lq
