GROENE MINERALEN CENTRALE

In the concept of the Green Mineral Mining Centre, flows like manure, sewage sludge, food and feed waste and other organic residues are used as a source to produce new Bio-Based Fertiliser (BBF) such as mineral fertilisers, organic fertiliser or organic soil improvers and energy (by digestion). At Green Mineral Mining Centres, businesses, governmental bodies and knowledge institutes work together on the development of a circular nutrient economy by new concepts for the processing of biomass waste streams into valuable products. The central goal is to close nutrient cycles and to provide a sustainable solution for surpluses of minerals in agriculture as illustrated in the following figure... This processing at GZV will bring an end to current digestate disposal practices including transport of digestate over distances up to 300-500 kilometres to farmers in Germany. In the Netherlands, manure production by livestock farming is greater than the amount that can be applied on agricultural..
