Project Title

Fermentation products for the improvement of indoor housing and soil structure

Project description

Farms in Brandenburg are characterized by low crop yields and dairy farming because of nutrient-poor soils and dry climatic conditions. Livestock manure could contribute to a sustained improvement of the soil structure and the supply of the soil with nutrients on farms in Brandenburg. The aim of the project is to produce biochar by pyrolysis of digestates from biogas plants. Subsequently, an alternative litter for dairy barns has to be developed from biochar. This litter shall partly substitute straw bedding and promote animal health. The biochar gets ultimately to the field or in the soil by farm manure or by digestates after the litter has passed the biogas plant. The farm manure upgraded by biochar should have positive effects on soil fertility and yield increases. The application of biochar in biogas plants shall furthermore have a positive influence on the process stability and on the productivity of the biogas plants.
