Solid Waste Management for Sustainability in Canadian Agriculture
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Our goal is to generate a renewable energy source through an Anaerobic Biodigester to reduce solid wastes, managing the nutrients in the manure, reduce the greenhouse gases that are produced and control the on-site stockpiles of manure. This system can generate electricity savings for the facility as well as potentially accommodate other local sources by taking on their waste and digestate nutrients locally. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in natural sciences and engineering as well as the social sciences and humanities. We will collaborate with the Hamiota Feedlot Ltd. as well as a network of knowledge mobilzation partners to maximize the impact of our research.
