Best Available Technologies for manure treatment baltic sea 2020 Acknowledgements This report was produced between August 2009 and January 2010, thanks to the skilled and professional work done by Henning Lyngsø Foged and his colleagues at CBMI, and with recognition to the experienced input from experts and authorities regarding manure treatment in the Baltic Sea Region. We’ve had valuable input from participants in the digital survey and the workshop in Stockholm in October (see Annex I) as well as during meetings and interviews in Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Poland, Sweden and USA. We appreciate the time devoted and comments given by authorities and expert in the review of the final draft of this report; including the European IPPC Bureau, the Lithuanian Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agricultural Engineering at Aarhus University, the Danish Society for Nature Protection, MTT Agrifood Research in Finland, the Federation of Swedish Farmers, the Danish Plant Directorate, the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment, the Estonian Environmental Department and the Finnish Environment Institute. Their specific comments and our considerations can be viewed at the Baltic Sea 2020 webpage. The project was funded by the Baltic Sea 2020 foundation.

Best Available Technologies for manure treatment baltic sea 2020 FOREWORD FOREWORD One main objective for Baltic Sea 2020 is to reduce the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. The reduction of nutrient leakage from intensive livestock farms to the Baltic Sea, through technical development and spreading information on “Best Available Technologies” is one important activity to reach this objective. This report with findings and recommendations concerning “Best Available Technologies for Manure Treatment” is produced by Henning Lyngsø Foged and his colleagues at the Innovation Centre for Bioenergy and Environmental Technology (CBMI), commissioned by Baltic Sea 2020. The report focuses on leaching of nutrients from the huge amounts of manure produced by intensive rearing of pigs in the EU Member States of the Baltic Sea catchment area, and evaluates the technological solutions to reduce this leaching. The report does not evaluate the leaching reduction potential of agricultural practices, such as spreading techniques, timing of spreading, buffer areas, wetlands etc. These important measures are discussed by many other actors involved in reducing eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. Baltic Sea 2020 will promote the recommended technologies within the Baltic Sea catchment area. We hope that other organisations, institutes and authorities will find the report useful and apply its findings, for example in the review process of the IPPC Directive and its reference documents, in agricultural advisory services, within the Baltic Sea Strategy and within the multiple ongoing projects aiming to develop intensive animal production within the Baltic Sea region in an environmentally sustainable way.
