Sustainable Manure and Nutrient Management for reduction of nutrient l

SuMaNu (Sustainable Manure and Nutrient Management for reduction of nutrient loss in the Baltic Sea Region) projektet har som mål att utvärdera och sammanfatta tidigare rekommendationer för hållbar gödsel och näringshantering som främjas av fyra internationella projekt. Dessa är Interreg Baltic Sea Region-projekt Baltic Slurry Acidification and Manure Standards, Interreg Central Baltic-projektet GreenAgri och BONUS-programprojektet BONUS PROMISE.

Mot en helhetssyn

SuMaNu-syntesen av de lösningar som utvecklats i de fyra projekten användas för att formulera rekommendationer för miljö- och ekonomiskt hållbar gödselhantering för att bättre koppla projektresultat och policyer. SuMaNu kommer att rikta denna information nationellt och internationellt, särskilt mot beslutsfattare.

Representation runt Östersjön

SuMaNu-partners kommer från olika Östersjöländer, Finland, Estland, Lettland, Tyskland, Polen, Danmark och Sverige och inkluderar den mellanstatliga organisationen HELCOM - Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission.

Projektresultat

Technologies and management practices for sustainable manure use in the Baltic Sea Region by Erik Sindhöj, Marek Krysztoforski, Katrin Kuka, Sari Luostarinen, Zanda Melnalksne, Kristina Mjöfors, Kaisa Riiko, Kalvi Tamm, Kari Ylivainio, Minna Sarvi

The objective of this report was to compile recommendations from seven previous Interreg and Bonus projects dealing with improving manure use in the Baltic Sea Region. The recommendations were sorted according to where along the manure handling chain they should be implemented and synthesized in terms of the various aspects of sustainability they aimed at improving.

Manure processing as a pathway to enhanced nutrient recycling by Sari Luostarinen, Elina Tampio, Johanna Laakso, Minna Sarvi, Kari Ylivainio, Kaisa Riiko, Katrin Kuka, Elke Bloem and Erik Sindhöj

The need to introduce new nutrients into the current demand from mineral resources could be reduced significantly via nutrient recycling. The most significant recyclable material is animal manure which is traditionally used as a fertilizer. However, due to segregation of crop and animal production, manure is often regionally concentrated so that its nutrients may be available in excess to the region’s need. To enable regional nutrient reallocation, manure processing to various end-products could be used. In this report the advantages and challenges of manure processing are discussed and several processing technologies introduced.
