New Study Examines Feasibility of Renewable Energy from Aquaculture Waste

EU – A new EU funded project is examining the feasibility of producing renewable energy from aquaculture and agriculture waste.

The project group, including the Scottish Salmon Producers’ Organisation, British Trout Association and the University of Liverpool, is known as BiFFiO and will begin testing whether small-scale anaerobic digesters can be efficient in turning fish and cattle waste into biogas and fertiliser for use in the agriculture sector.

Over the last 12 months, the group has designed and installed the prototype system comprising of four anaerobic digesters at the Wood Park dairy farm, part of University of Liverpool School of Veterinary Science.
