Biogas for Dairy Farms

A game changer for sustainable farming

Dairy farms face unique challenges in managing waste and maintaining sustainability. Biogas technology provides a transformative solution, turning dairy farm waste into valuable resources. At Finn Biogas, we have world class experience in biogas systems designed to enhance the efficiency, profitability, and environmental impact of dairy farms.
  • Efficient Waste Management

Dairy farms produce large quantities of manure, which can be difficult to handle. Biogas systems convert this manure into biogas, significantly reducing waste volume and minimizing pollution risks.

  • Renewable Energy Source

Biogas can be used to generate electricity and heat, offering a sustainable energy solution for dairy farms. This reduces dependency on fossil fuels and lowers energy expenses.

  • Production of Organic Fertiliser

The digestate from the biogas process is an excellent organic fertiliser, rich in nutrients. It enhances soil quality, promotes healthier crops, and reduces the need for chemical fertilisers.

  • Odor and Pest Reduction
Anaerobic digestion helps control the strong odours associated with dairy manure and decreases pest attraction, fostering a healthier and environmentally compliant farm environment.
  • Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By capturing methane and using it as energy, biogas systems significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from dairy farms. This contributes to a lower carbon footprint and supports environmental sustainability.

How Biogas Systems Work on Dairy Farms

1

Collection:

Dairy cow manure and other organic waste are gathered and fed into the biogas digester.

2

Digestion:

In the digester, anaerobic bacteria break down the organic material, producing biogas and digestate.

3

Biogas Utilisation:

The biogas is captured and can be used to generate electricity, heat, or even be upgraded to biomethane for vehicle fuel.

4

Digestate Utilisation:

The digestate is separated into liquid and solid fractions, both of which serve as nutrient-rich fertilisers for crops.
