Working Group on the Extraction of Nutrients from Digestate
19th May 2026
At All Island Bioeconomy Summit, Johnstown Estate Hotel, Enfield, Co. Meath
As part of the REGENERATE project, Working Groups have been established to engage with the wider industry and share solutions and ideas for managing digestate and compost. These groups bring together farmers, biogas and compost plant managers, crop advisors, horticulturalists, and rural community members to discuss and develop practical, sustainable outcomes. Insights generated will inform the development of factsheets, which will be shared across the project’s Community of Practice to support wider industry learning.
