What we do for you?
Biogas from covered ponds/digesters reduces production costs and provides more income.
The BSP, a key component of Subprogram 4C, is a technical service, free to Australian and New Zealand pig producers, to help you understand biogas in your specific context. We also research covered ponds and co-digestion.
