Objective
The main objective of this project is to implement a heat pump in welfare friendly straw systems for pigs to save energy and to reduce emissions of ammonia and green house gases to the environment. The heat pump extracts energy from the composting straw-manure bed and this thermal energy is reused on the farm for heating piglet rooms, tap water and the living rooms on the farm. The quantified goals are:
-reduction of energy use for heating on the farm to zero level;
- reduction of ammonia emission and emission of green house gases from the straw-manure bed by 50%;
- building of two prototypes of the system. The optimal composting temperature and the optimal design of the system is determined in preliminary experiments and by computer modelling. In the Exploratory phase the following is necessary:
- a desk study on potential heat demanders on pig farms;
- a market analysis;
- a partner search;
- the writing of a detailed Step 2 proposal.
