Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Biomethane Renewable Gas: Discussion
Mr. Barry Caslin:
The digestate is generally approximately 4% to 5% dry matter and 95% water. There is a lot of water in it. There is an opportunity to separate the dry matter, which contains more of the phosphorous and potassium, from the liquid component where the nitrogen content is. There is the opportunity to separate it, if nutrients have to be transported a distance.
