Just going to the bathroom is contributing to algae blooms and climate change. Sweden alone releases roughly 15400 tonnes of N and 240 tonnes of P into lakes, rivers and seas, through municipal wastewater (including after treatment). Urine contains 80% of the plant nutrients found in wastewater and can be used as a fertilizer instead. At SLU, we have developed a revolutionary technology that converts >90% of the nutrients from urine into a dry fertilizer. The aim of the project is to produce a tailored fertilizer from urine and a new, more sustainably produced, beer that tastes exactly the same as the conventional beer. We will also validate the scalability of nutrient recycling through large-scale beer production. We have partnered with Spiran, a toilet rental company on Gotland, to collect and treat urine > 30 m3 of urine to grow barley as well as with Gotlands Bryggeri (daughter company to Spendrups) to produce a new sustainable beer.
När vi går på toaletten bidrar vi till algblomningar och klimatförändringar. Enbart Sverige släpper ut cirka 15400 ton N och 240 ton P till sjöar, floder och hav genom kommunalt avloppsvatten (efterbehandling). Urin innehåller 80% av växtnäringsämnena som finns i avloppsvattnet och kan användas som gödningsmedel istället. På SLU har vi utvecklat en revolutionerande teknik som omvandlar > 90% av näringsämnena från urinen till ett torrt koncentrerat gödningsmedel. Målet med projektet är att producera ett skräddarsytt gödselmedel från urin och ett nytt, mer hållbart producerat öl som smakar exakt detsamma som det konventionella ölet. Gödselmedlet är skräddarsytt för att tillgodose de specifika behoven för korn avsett för ölproduktion. Spiran, ett toalettuthyrningsföretag på Gotland, är med i projektet för att samla in och behandla > 30 m3 urin. Den torkade urinen används till att odla korn som används av Gotlands Bryggeri (dotterbolag till Spendrups) för att producera en ny hållbar öl.

Decreasing population sizes and risk of accumulation of inbreeding is a challenge for the national Norwegian horse breeds; the Dole, the Fjord and the Nordland/Lyngen. The average breed-specific reduction in covered mares is between 37% and 45%, when comparing the years 2000 to 2009 to the years …

For sustainable future development, it is essential to recirculate plant nutrients from different parts of society,
especially sewage plants, back to arable land. The aim of the proposed project is to ensure that high-quality fertiliser
products attractive for agricultural use are produced from …

Cereal production is limited by many different factors. Leaf diseases are often well known, while diseases on roots are more difficult to identify. Root diseases are often caused by oomycetes, fungus-like microorganisms that live for years in soil and on old root debris, parasitizing the roots of …

Heat stress is expected to be of major concern in Swedish animal production systems in the future. The air temperatures in parts of Sweden are expected to correspond to today's temperatures in southern Europe, where livestock experience heat stress today. Excessive thermal load affects the welfare …
