At the Kalset Mjölk farm, the farm's manure is optimized by investing in biogas. This has resulted in a biogas plant that supplies the farm with electricity and heat and the manure has been refined.

WWF's project Baltic Stewardship Initiative wants to contribute to increasing the exchange of knowledge and experience between farmers, and between farmers and experts. We therefore highlight good examples from farmers who implement solutions on their farms to reduce the leakage of plant nutrients into surrounding waterways, lakes and oceans and who optimize their use of plant nutrients.
Kalset Mjölk is run by the Samuelsson family together with their employees and the farm has an organic herd of just over 250 dairy cows. It is Nissan that is the catchment area for Kalset Mjölk and flows into the Kattegatt in Laholmsbukten. To optimize the farm's manure, Anna and Hans Samuelsson have invested in biogas. Through a closed loop, the farm's resources can be used to the max. The biogas plant now supplies the farm with electricity and heat, and the manure has been refined.

If the burn the biogas then end up emitting CO2 to the atmosphere, nothing you burn is good for the environment, unless there is carbon capture.

@tony_de_la_concha I can agree with you but there is a carbon dioxide reduction when the methane gas is burned and becomes carbon dioxide. The fertilizers then work better for the plants' nutrient absorption in the fields. Methane gas is the worst for the climate, so the situation will be better this way.

We should biochar all organic waste.

Methane is part of carbon emissions, but relatively eco friendly due to its slow rate of emission

@mc_kaka methane is really bad, has the potency of 20 times CO2
