Optimisation of the composting of digestate with regard to compost quality and low-emission operation - Part 2

Building on the results of the first project phase, which developed a low-emission composting process for digestate, the approach will be expanded to other organic residues. These include substrates from breweries, wineries, and the food industry, particularly fruit by-products. These materials differ in moisture content, C/N ratio, and emission behavior, and therefore require tailored feedstock mixes, targeted process control, and quality assurance. Through targeted process management and comprehensive monitoring, the project aims to establish a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution for on-site valorization of these material streams. Optimized, low-emission on-site composting strengthens the regional circular economy, protects the environment, and reduces costs—for example, by avoiding long transport routes.
