Did you know?
Cows defecate on average 30 kg/day (USDA)
With 1,500 MM heads of cattle in the world, there is an excessive amount of manure generated annually.
Cow manure generates environmental, social and regulatory problems
Water pollution problem
Surface water contamination
Groundwater contamination
Drinking water contamination
Air pollution problem
Greenhouse gases generation
Generation of bad odors
It favors the fires generation
Regulatory problems
Closure of operation for dairy and beef cattle product to environmental problems
Social problems
Conflicts with neighboring communities
Higher risk of diseases
Public opinion problems
Soil contamination problem
Soil saturation, chemicals excess
Poisoning of livestock that consume the soils
Pests and bacteria generation
OUR SOLUTION
We solve manure problem transforming manure into combustion pellets generating wealth from it
02
Cleaning
We leave the liquid part and clean the solid to generate biomass.
04
Fuel Pellet
With the biomass we generate a certified pellet that complies with all regulations.
01
Separating
We separate the solid from the liquid of the animal slurry.
03
Biomass
With the solid part we generate odorless, high calorific and pathogen-free biomass.
