Described as an “underutilised biomass” cattle manure is seen as a suitable alternative to help strengthen energy security while creating value from agricultural waste streams. The funding will support MAFRA on the commercialisation of solid fuel technologies. The government will also fund MCEE’s development of biomass solid fuel production and utilisation technologies and the advancement of pollution prevention technologies for related facilities. Kim concluded: “We are at a critical moment for converting livestock manure into energy. We will provide close support for the necessary technology development so that we do not miss this golden opportunity and will actively work towards establishing a livestock manure solid fuel ecosystem.”
