Abstract:
In Finland, the current situation regarding the management of horse manure is challenging. The manure can only be burned for energy in the waste burning plants that are equipped with continuous emissions measurement devices. However, there have been some positive developments in policy level for the combustion process of horse manure for the plant size of less than 50 MW in the near future. This prospective legislative facilitation will help the horse manure to gain a foothold as a new biofuel in the energy production. Therefore, also horse manure logistics needs to be streamlined all the way from the stables to the power plant. The logistics options and costs of horse manure were studied in the HevosWatti (HorseWatt) project. The project was implemented in the region of South Savo, in Finland. Because of the project, information was gained on the intensification of the horse manure logistics chain and on the cost-effectiveness of the used logistics options.
