The Baltic Manure Handling Award 2013
Introduction
Manure continues to be a challenge, when it comes to handling manure in an environmentally friendly way,
but despite being a challenge this can also provide opportunities for those who work with manure
management technologies. Therefore the purpose with this symbolic award is to recognize the companies
and technology developers, whom appreciates manure management as a business area and to promote the
promising new technologies, which they develop. Please note, that the award is only symbolic.
The applications will be evaluated based on the criteria described in the table below and to ensure a well –
based evaluation the incoming applications will be evaluated by the following work package leaders in the
Baltic Manure project:
Lena Rohde, Swedish Institute of Agricultural and Environment Engineering,
- Work Package 3 - Innovative technologies
Dr. Silvia Hahneklaus, the Julius Kühn Institute, Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants,
- Work Package 4 – Standardisation of manure types
Prof. Henrik Wenzel, University of Southern Denmark, Institute of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and
Environmental Technology,
- Work Package 5 – Assessing sustainability of manure
Sari Luostarinen, MTT Agrifood Research Finland,
- Work Package 6 – Energy Potentials of Manure
The final selection of a winner will be done by Mr. Markku Järvenpää, MTT Agrifood Research Finland and
Mr. Lars Visbech Soerensen, CEO of Agro Business Park to ensure a good balance between the scientific
potential and the business potential of the given technology.
Deadline for application is May 31st and applications should be sent to Mrs. Anne-Luise Skov Jensen at
[email protected].
The winner of the award will be announced at the conference ‘A Greener Agriculture for a Bluer Baltic Sea’
on August 27th and 28th in Helsinki this year.
