Biogas not only contributes to reduced carbon dioxide emissions – it also creates valuable recycling cycles. Within the Botnia Nutrient Recycling project, we have explored how the digestate from biogas production can become a sustainable resource in agriculture. Through studies of nutrient recycling, microplastics and pharmaceutical residues, we have developed methods to strengthen the circular economy, improve the profitability of biogas plants and reduce environmental impact in both Sweden and Finland. Project language was Swedish.
