Projektbeschreibung:
The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is trying to find innovative solutions for the economic development of the Baltic Sea Region and at the same time addressing environmental challenges, such as nutrient losses from agriculture. The Action Plan for the EU Baltic Sea Region Strategy seeks to make the BSR a prosperous place, and at the same time develop sustainable agriculture (Priority 9). In order to achieve this, several flagship projects have been introduced and the present application is one these, namely the "Forum for inventive and sustainable manure processing". According to the Gothenburg agenda, economic growth and environmental protection should go hand in hand. As manure is the only agricultural product that is currently not processed and utilized commercially, the BATMAN project will focus on this link between economic growth and environmental benefits to make rural areas more prosperous through sustainable manure management.

BATMAN is turning the perception of manure and intensive animal husbandry in some regions as an environmental problem into an opportunity for business innovation. The project develops and utilizes the high potential and know-how for innovative solutions for manure management, such as production of renewable energy, organic fertilizers and other added value products.

Total budget: 3.7 mio Euro. 18 partners in total.
