Zanita Markham: Industry collaborating to reduce ammonia emissions through the PigProGrAm

Zanita Markham, AHDB environment and buildings knowledge transfer (KT) officer

As someone who has always been passionate about the environment, I am excited to be part of the PigProGrAm project, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of ammonia emissions from pigs.

Agriculture is a major contributor to ammonia emissions, which can have a negative impact on biodiversity and the environment. The fact that PigProGrAm brings together experts in farming, engineering, and sustainable animal feed to address this issue is truly impressive.

The project’s goal is to harvest green ammonia from pig waste and create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly livestock industry in the UK.

The technology used in PigProGrAm is state-of-the-art and has been successfully designed and installed onsite.

The predicted results of this project are promising as the research looks at multiple areas of pig production, including feed, housing and the utilisation of waste products.

By addressing these areas, it is hoped that the project will create a more sustainable and efficient industry. This is important not only for the environment, but also for the farmers themselves, who can benefit from using the additional resources.

High quality fertiliser is one byproduct that can be used to improve crop yields and reduce the need for synthetic fertilisers which can often have a negative impact on the environment.

The project also aims to prove the possibilities of generating green hydrogen, which is a valuable tool in the fight against climate change. By creating these resources from pig waste, PigProGrAm is not only reducing ammonia emissions but also creating additional benefits for the environment and society.

I believe that projects like PigProGrAm are critical to creating a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.

It is encouraging to see industry leaders coming together to address the issue of ammonia emissions from livestock and looking at how to develop innovative solutions to address this issue.

I hope that more projects like this will be developed in the future, bringing together experts from various fields to create a more sustainable and efficient agriculture industry.

PigProGrAm has the potential to make a real difference in reducing ammonia emissions from livestock. We will share the project results in the coming months and look at how it can be implemented on a larger scale to create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.
