Don Dixon Memorial Lecture - The Development in Farm Energy Methane
Add to calChapel Lecture Theatre, Penryn Campus, University of Exeter TR10 9FE
Farming can still meet the Methane Pledge by 2030 in the UK by turning Cow poo into Green Energy. This lecture will examine how livestock farmers, who have been seen as responsible for climate change, will effectively participate in cooling the atmosphere and regenerate the soil while producing energy for the community.
Dr. Chris Mann, Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Bennamann, is a physicist-turned-agricultural innovator revolutionising sustainable farming practices. His groundbreaking Smartcover for slurry lagoons when combined with Bennamann's Biocycle system transforms harmful agricultural emissions into usable green energy, significantly reducing farms carbon footprints while providing economic benefits to farmers.
The Bennamann modular and scalable approach to technology solutions caters to farms of all sizes, making sustainable farming accessible and profitable. Dr Mann's partnerships and now investment from industry leaders like New Holland/CNH have led to innovations such as the world's first liquid methane-powered tractor.
