INTRODUCTION AND EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVE PROCESSING METHODS FOR THE AMMONIA- AND GREENHOUSE GASES EMISSION REDUCTION OF CATTLE SLURRY
Abstract
Climate change and environmental degradation are a huge threat to Europe and the world. The European Union must be ensured the net zero emissions of greenhouse gases in order to become climate neutral by 2050. However, achieving this goal according to the European Climate Law, the greenhouse gasses emission reduction, have to be at least 55% compared the emission level of 1990 by 2030. On top of all that the 2016/2284 numbered directive of the European Union about the reduction of emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants (NEC) requires to the governments of the member states to reduce by 32% the level of atmospheric ammonia emissions compared to the 2005 level to 2030. Nowadays this research topic is very timely in the field of agriculture especially in the field of the livestock sector, because currently there are the highest ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions in this sector. It would be effective solutions for this problem widespread using of precision digitalization technologies and the application of the circular farming in the field of livestock farming for example in the cattle slurry processing all of this would be significantly contribute to achievement of the goals of Green Deal.
