Activities

The “Value from Manure Carbon” project provides tools to demonstrate how the use of manure in biogas plants can generate both climate benefits and economic added value. The project is coordinated by the Finnish Biocycle and Biogas Association (SBB).The goal is to create an open and freely adoptable operating model that helps farms capitalize economically on their climate work. The model is based on the co-development of climate tools, dissemination of knowledge and results, and the preparation of clear guides and training materials. At the same time, the project examines the current state of carbon markets and future opportunities to guide the sector’s development. A key question is how farms can receive market-based compensation for manure directed to biogas production and benefit from the climate work carried out in the food chain.The project benefits farmers, who can receive a premium for the carbon in manure, as well as biogas operators through improved operational conditions. Food chain companies gain reliable data on emission reductions and the opportunity to purchase emission savings to meet their climate targets.To achieve its objectives, the project involves a broad network of partners from different sectors whose expertise ensures impactful results. The EIP group includes Soilfood Oy, Wega Oy, Pohjois-Suomen Biokaasu Oy, Jepuan Biokaasu Oy, Demeca Oy, Atria Suomi Oy, Digikierto Oy, Pirteä Porsas Oy, Koivikon Kartano, and Toukolan Tila.
