Second NI company to convert waste dung into a resource

The funding is part of the Sustainable Utilisation of Livestock Slurry (SULS) programme, launched by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera) in 2023.

The programme forms part of the Lough Neagh Action Plan, which aims to change how nutrients like phosphorus are managed on farm.

High levels of phosphorus in the water are one of the main causes of algal blooms in Lough Neagh.

Reducing the nutrient level going into the lough should help control algal levels.

An initiative is underway to find ways to tackle blue-green algae without damaging the Lough or its associated waterways.

C for C technical lead Dr. James Morrow said the project would “ensure the business resilience” of farms while helping them become more sustainable.

But scientists have warned that phosphorus already in the lough will take 40 years to be naturally dispersed.

Another company, in Dundonald, was awarded funding under the same initiative last month.
