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.

A sustainable use of phosphorus fertilizers has engaged a large number of researchers, especially how to measure
the soil content of available phosphorus. However, the development of results to useful methods for agriculture has
not been a priority. The recommendations are based on extraction with …

The carbon footprint for ruminants is high compared to other food products of animal origin but grazing animals such
as beef and lamb have other positive effects on the environment such as increased biodiversity and carbon
sequestration. Beef- and lamb producers need clear guidelines on how to …
