Dear Johan,

I agree with Helge and suggest a plan that would aerobically digest the AD
digestate (formulated along with other feedstock) in a compost operation
before application.

Dear Johan,

there is a general concern for using biogas digestate: Does it contain
pathogens which might create a health hazard. There are reports on pathogens
for man, animal, and plant, which might survive the biogas process. As  the
input material of any biogas plant which is not operated on a farm level may
contain many different types of pathogens you may accumulate these germs
even if they are in a low number in the digestate.

Be careful.

Best regards and good luck

Helge

I am a 62 years old Norwegian senior adviser in a Norwegian NGO called
Norges Vel (The Royal Norwegian Society for Development). I am working with
environmental projects within organic farming and climate change. I am an
engineer in chemistry and have been working with agriculture for 30 years,
also on my own organic farm 30 km outside of Oslo. The farm was organic in
1989. We had animals for 10 years, but today we only have cereals and green
manure.  I hope that a new biogas plant for the city  of Oslo can provide
the farm with digestate. I see an unique option to recycle organic food
waste through digesting in a biogas plant, if the quality is acceptable for
organic farming..
