Spational modeling of a sustainable gas supply chain by matching supply and demand Biogas production from co-digestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas …

'Koe en boer on tour' is een rapportage van het onderzoek dat is gedaan in het kader van het realiseren van een bredere uitrol van het door Wageningen UR Livestock Research ontwikkelde innovatieprogramma Kracht van Koeien.

Biogas production from codigestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas grid and injected into this grid. In this study, we analyzed such a gas supply chain …

The aim of this research was to describe paddock use of horses and cattle in different densities in the salt marshes of Noord-Friesland Buitendijks. In this report is also added the ongoing discussion about grazing in salt marshes in whole Europe and it might help understanding different outcomes in …
