Future EU and UK policy and regulations are likely to place more emphasis on the need to protect and improve our environment - for example by preserving the soil carbon, reducing nutrient losses and minimise macro and microplastics to land – as well as improve air quality and fight climate change. This, combined with current rules already in force – e.g. the Farming Rules for Water - are likely to put more and more pressure on the AD and farming sectors to manage digestate in the best possible way, minimise any environmental impact, reduce its handling costs and maximise its value.
The event will look at what challenges that AD and farming sectors are already facing and likely to face in the future on digestate management and will explore the most effective solutions to address these challenges.
