Biogas produced from wastes is regarded as advanced biofuel and is under current EU regulation, promoting the growth of advanced biofuels. In this study, the authors focused the research on the potential of a pig farm and an adjacent slaughterhouse and meat processing enterprise to produce not only meat, but energy as well, through anaerobic digestion of wastes produced during current activities to produce biogas as energy carrier. One had assessed the potential of a pig�s farm and an adjacent slaughterhouse and meat processing enterprise to produce biogas as energy carrier, using anaerobic digestion of wastes generated in production activity. All experiments were carried out on a performing lab device. The results indicate solid sludge and fats resulted from slaughterhouse are capable to produce high yields of methane, reported to dry organic matter. Although organic wastes resulted from slaughterhouse can generate high quantities of methane by anaerobic digestion, large quantities of organic wastes are generated in the assessed pig�s farm and the potential for energy production is much higher in the case considering as source the pig�s farm than slaughterhouse. Finally, one demonstrated that by combining organic wastes generated in the pig�s farm with the organic wastes resulted from slaughterhouse, or organic wastes generated in the pig�s farm with the biomass produced on 200 hectares of triticale as short rotation crop, one can supply the energy source, necessary to operate an one-megawatt installed power biogas plant.

In the last years the price of energy from conventional fuels increased and in the same time the price of agricultural products decreased. The farmer’s interest for energy production from agricultural source increased. For this reason the vegetable waste, the agricultural secondary products, the primary agricultural products like rape or sun flowers, animals manure and not in the last time short rotation crop become possible renewable energy sources for farmers. In this paper is presented the Romania’s potential of main energetic crops and the conversion technology to obtain renewable energy for cover energetic needs in agricultural farms.

Wastewater and sewage sludge contain organic matter that can be valorized through conversion into energy and/or green chemicals. Moreover, resource recovery from these wastes has become the new focus of wastewater management, to develop more sustainable processes in a circular economy approach. The aim of this review was to analyze current sewage sludge management systems in Scandinavia with respect to resource recovery, in combination with other organic wastes. As anaerobic digestion (AD) was found to be the common sludge treatment approach in Scandinavia, different available organic municipal and industrial wastes were identified and compared, to evaluate the potential for expanding the resource recovery by anaerobic co-digestion. Additionally, a full-scale case study of co-digestion, as strategy for optimization of the anaerobic digestion treatment, was presented for each country, together with advanced biorefinery approaches to wastewater treatment and resource recovery.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been recognised as an effective means of simultaneously producing energy while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Despite having a large agriculture sector, Ireland has experienced little uptake of the technology, ranking 20th within the EU-28. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the general opinions, willingness to adopt, and perceived obstacles of potential adopters of the technology. As likely primary users of this technology, a survey of Irish cattle farmers was conducted to assess the potential of on-farm AD for energy production in Ireland. The study seeks to understand farmers’ motivations, perceived barriers, and preferred business model. The study found that approximately 41% of the 91 respondents were interested in installing AD on their farming enterprise within the next five years. These Likely Adopters tended to have a higher level of education attainment, and together, currently hold 4379 cattle, potentially providing 37,122 t year−1 of wastes as feedstock, resulting in a potential CO2 reduction of 800.65 t CO2-eq. year−1. Moreover, the results indicated that the primary consideration preventing the implementation of AD is a lack of information regarding the technology and high investment costs. Of the Likely Adopters and Possible Adopters, a self-owned and operated plant was the preferred ownership structure, while 58% expressed an interest in joining a co-operative scheme. The findings generated provide valuable insights into the willingness of farmers to implement AD and guidance for its potential widespread adoption.

The article discusses the development and implementation of a safety management system based on the principles of HACCP at a food enterprise, the main focus of which is the production of meat and sausage products. Hazardous factors of production were determined, the indicators were ranked, critical control points were established at all stages of product processing, a HACCP plan was developed.
