Problem
Livestock operations face increasing pressure to manage waste sustainably due to environmental regulations and the high costs associated with traditional waste treatment methods. Current solutions often fail to maximize energy production from biogas, efficiently remove nitrogen from digestate, and recover valuable nutrients like phosphorus.
Solution
SGTech offers an AI-driven Integrated Ecosystem Solution (IES) that optimizes biogas production and nutrient recovery from livestock waste. The IES leverages data from plant sensors, laboratory analysis, DNA sequencing, and functional gene expression to enhance anaerobic digestion. This technology increases energy output, reduces nitrogen in digestate, and recovers phosphorus for sustainable reuse. The system creates customized biogas plants tailored to meet the technical and regulatory needs of each country, enabling farmers to operate in an environmentally sound and profitable manner.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes medium-sized farms in Europe, specifically those with 500 to 1500 cattle or around 30,000 pigs, as well as other livestock operations seeking sustainable waste management solutions.
