This bacterium lives on the Andean Altiplano, or high-altitude plateau, of the great mountain range straddling Bolivia and a number of other South American countries. To protect itself from the intense sunlight and high salt concentration of its environment, it produces a type of polymer (a base component of many living organisms), which the scientists believe can be at the base of a number of high value-added biorefinery applications. It is this "exopolysaccharide" polymer that can become use products down the line.

Agricultural biomass shows promise in reducing chemical fertilizer use Agricultural biomass residues and food industry byproducts are emerging as viable alternatives to reduce chemical fertilizer usage, paving the way for more sustainable farming practices. This groundbreaking development took center stage at the EIMA International trade show in Bologna, Italy. "Overcoming current barriers to biofertilizer development is crucial," stated Italian partners of the European DELISOIL Project during the meeting.  They emphasized the importance of establishing a supply chain that effectively utilizes waste products and returns nutrients to the soil. This European Commission-funded initiative aims to develop solutions for processing and recycling food industry secondary streams to produce high-quality, safe recycled fertilizers.  The project also supports the EU's "Soil Deal for Europe" mission and "Farm to Fork" strategy for sustainable agriculture. This cutting-edge sustainable technology enables nutrient release through the complete biodegradation of mulch materials.  Initial trials have shown promising results, with biodegradation completed in less than four months and increasing nitrate and phosphorus levels by 60%, significantly reducing the need for chemical fertilizer applications.

"Spent hemp biomass, like other hemp waste products, retains significant nutritional value. But the use of this waste to feed animals still isn’t permitted in many jurisdictions. There has been increasing research in recent years focused on safety and efficacy to convince regulators to allow it. Just recently in the USA, feeding hemp seed meal to laying hens received tentative approval at the mid-year meeting of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Massimo Bionaz, PhD, from the Department of Animal and Rangeland Sciences, Oregon State University led a team studying spent hemp biomass with measurable levels of cannabinoids on the productivity and health of dairy cows." - Steven Gothrinet #Whitefieldglobalholdings #RexburgHemp #HempFarming #Hemp #industrialHemp #Artricle #News #Resources #HempBiomass #HempWaste #AnimalFeed #Regulation #Research #HempSeedMeal #AAFCO #AnimalHealth #DairyCows #Cannabinoids #OregonStateUniversity

🍀 At the start of this new year, Sia Partners is pleased to share with you its 7th European biomethane benchmark. Like every year, we offer you a quantitative analysis of biomethane production plants in Europe, as well as a comprehensive overview of industry trends and regulatory developments. One of the countries analyzed in this benchmark is the Netherlands.     📢 Here are a few highlights for the Netherlands:   By the end of 2022, 68 biomethane plants were officially registered, contributing 2.3 TWh of biomethane to the grid.   The majority of the biomethane is produced through the utilization of agricultural residues (48%) and organic waste (33%). The remaining biomethane is produced using landfill gas (11%) and sewage sludge (7%).   Biomethane currently constitutes less than 1% of the Dutch gas consumption, while utilizing 11% of its anaerobic digestion potential. This suggests that there is still significant potential to achieve the 2030 target of 2 bcm (21 TWh).   In 2023, a new legislative proposal was introduced, establishing a blending obligation set to take effect in 2025. This obligation states that energy suppliers are obliged to supply a specific quantity of biomethane to households and the service sector.    👉 Discover the complete study on Sia Partners’ website:  https://lnkd.in/ew4SrDXP     #siapartners #consulting4good #climateanalysis #biogas #biomethane #Europe #Benchmark

Did you know that Gen-2 feedstocks don’t compete with food crops? They’re grown on marginal lands and require minimal resources, making them key to a sustainable bioenergy future. At feedstoq, we’re making it easier for farmers to adopt these crops while connecting them with bioenergy producers who are looking for sustainable solutions. 🚜💡 #bioenergy #biomethane #biogas #biofuels #regenerativefarming #sustainablefarming #contractfarming #energycrops

#sustainability #microalgae #greenhousegasemissions #algae #effluenttreatmentplant #effluenttreatment #carbonemissions #circularity #aquaculture #agriculture #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativeaquaculture Now that we are offer microalgae-based effluent treatment plants, several friends and family members forward me posts from the social media about how microalgae CAN POSSIBLY solve air pollution problems. They end up forwarding articles on small or prototype systems that look beautiful and enticing. We have commissioned and are now operating what are perhaps the largest known, end-to-end, microalgae-based effluent treatment plants for the manufacturing industry. These plants are not only treating their process effluent but are also producing tons of wet, green microalgae biomass everyday! Green microalgae are nature's richest source of proteins, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, pigments and other important biomolecules including auxins, cytokinins & other growth factors. Commercial trials are already underway at mass-scale for use of the biomass as a Crop Biostimulant for Agriculture, and very soon as a live-feed for Aquaculture. In aquaculture, we are particularly keen to explore the use of our biochemically-rich & live microalgae for production of Zooplanktons! It is believed that adequate availability of naturally-fed, high-quality & low-cost zooplanktons can revolutionize the Aquaculture market! Therefore, there are multiple benefits for the manufacturing industry to explore microalgae-based effluent treatment process technology. These benefits span across process effectiveness, sustainability gains, and highly improved profitability through migration of effluent treatment from a Cost-Center to a Profit-Center! As indicated in slide below, global market size for Agricultural Crop Biostimulant and Aquaculture Feed is $4Billion and $70Billion, respectively. With microalgae-based Crop Bio-stimulant produced via recovery of nutrients & Carbon from effluent/ wastewater streams, the pricing for microalgae-based Bio-stimulant can be several times lower than those for the prevailing market products. And with the Global Agriculture Market size of ~$15Trillion, the potential market for microalgae-based Bio-stimulant can be massive!! Especially, given the peerless positive impact it can have via improved crop productivity-quality, lower pricing, and improved Sustainability-Circularity in Agriculture!

New accepted article entitled: "Mechanochemically Synthesized Nitrogen-Efficient Mg- and Zn-Ammonium Carbonate Fertilizers". Abstract: New scalable methods are needed to provide sustainable solutions for nutrient recovery in the form of solid fertilizer materials and their environmental stabilization from anaerobic digestion liquid byproducts. In this work, two nutrient metal containing double salts, Mg(NH4)2(CO3)2·4H2O and Zn(NH3)CO3, were synthesized using naturally abundant Mg- and Zn-carbonate minerals and ammonium (bi)carbonate salts. This constituted a conceptually new synthetic approach, different from the previous work in which the aqueous solution was utilized. We also showed that the materials could be easily scaled to 20 g quantities sufficient for soil testing. The crystalline structure of the resulting materials was confirmed using powder XRD and thermal analysis showed properties distinctly different from those of parent ammonium (bi)carbonates. Accordingly, a reduction in NH3 volatilization in soil was measured with up to 20% more NH4+ recovered after the soil experiments at 80% water holding capacity. Further, inhibition of the agriculture-beneficial bacteria Bacillus subtillis in a nutrient medium was dramatically reduced when compared to the ammonium bicarbonate alone, suggesting decreased negative effects on soil biota. Finally, Mg(NH4)2(CO3)2·4H2O and Zn(NH3)CO3 matched the kinetic nitrogen need of lettuce plants better than the ammonium carbonate control while also keeping it in a form that will be available in the future. The utility of magnesium and zinc double salts in agriculture is paramount if environmentally benign and nutrient-efficient fertilizers from liquid digestate waste are to be enabled.
