Evaluation Summary: Biomass Controls Pyrolysis Technology
Quantifiable data is an essential part of decision-making for dairy farmers who are implementing environmentally sustainable field practices, but that data is limited. To address this challenge, Dairy Management Inc. and the Soil Health Institute initiated the Dairy Soil & Water Regeneration (DSWR) project in collaboration with research partners at eight institutions to advance progress toward the dairy industry’s collective 2050 environmental stewardship goals, established through the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy.
The Greener Cattle Initiative has announced two additional grants to develop scalable and commercially feasible innovations to reduce enteric methane emissions in dairy and beef cattle. Recipients, professor Joe Jacobs of Australia’s Department of Energy, Environment, and Climate Action and Dr. Stefan Muetzel, senior scientist at the Bioeconomy Science Institute, will be using the award to evaluate the use of bromoform as a feed additive to reduce enteric methane.
Newtrient assessed the performance and water quality advantages of a pilot-scale pyrolysis unit in treating the solids portion of the effluent from a dairy waste stream on a commercial dairy farm in Upstate New York. Learn more about the evaluation’s objectives, methodologies, key benefits, challenges, and implications.
