Abstract | The paper "Exploring digestate's contribution to healthy soils" examines the multifaceted benefits of integrating digestate into EU agronomic practices. From reducing reliance on costly synthetic fertilisers to promoting effective soil management and restoration, digestate emerges as a key player in addressing mineral imbalances in soils and facilitating efficient carbon capture. Moreover, its utilisation aligns with ongoing developments in EU carbon farming policies, positioning it as a cornerstone in Europe's transition to a greener, more sustainable agricultural sector. The further expansion of biogas production in Europe will see the generation of increasing amounts of digestate. Leveraging its significant advantages will yield benefits for farmers, local communities, and producers alike. The paper dives into the production of digestate, highlighting what happens in the digester and which types of digestate exist. It also investigates the agricultural properties and application of digestate, exploring its diverse uses across Europe and innovative application methods. Additionally, the paper examines the positive environmental, climatic, and soil health impacts associated with digestate, while also considering market strategies. Finally, it concludes with a regulatory framework analysis for digestate at EU and national level. |

0141 - European Biomethane Week 2024 | 4p1000 is not involved | 4p1000 is not participating | https://europeanbiomethaneweek.eu/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/EuropeanBiomethaneWeek-logo.svg |
| The European Biomethane Week is a must event for producers, users, investors and legislators involved in the deployment of biogases across Europe. The second edition of the European Biomethane Week "On your marks, get set... grow! Biogases: the pragmatic pathway to climate-neutrality" will offer multiple opportunities to engage, get insights and explore the most relevant topics for the biogases industry. As we prepare for a new turn of EU elections, this year is pivotal for affirming the leadership of the biogases sector as the pragmatic pathway to climate-neutrality. Investing in biogas technologies means advancing energy and food security, reducing dependency on external suppliers, combating climate change, and supporting the implementation of a circular economy. A wide variety of activities will be deployed in Brussels and other European countries from 21 to 25 October 2024. Join us at the European Biomethane Week and be part of the solution to build a European bioeconomy. | 5 days | info@europeanbiogas.eu | Biogases; Biomethane; Biogas; Digestate; Climate Neutrality | European Biogas Association | 0183 | 8:00 | (GMT+02:00) Europe/Athens | European Biomethane Week 2024 | Conference | https://www.europeanbiomethaneweek.eu/ |
