Small-scale Mono-manure fermentation
During this symposium, high-profile speakers will share their knowledge and experience. There will also be room for interaction and dialogue. An initiative of the Green Gas Platform and the Frisian Environmental Federation.
Mono-manure fermentation
A topic that's constantly evolving, with new perspectives and approaches constantly emerging. But what do we actually know about this process? How do experts view this topic from their various disciplines and experiences? And perhaps even more importantly: what's your perspective on this topic? During this symposium, high-profile speakers will share their knowledge and experience. There will also be room for interaction and dialogue.

Ruud Paap | Program Manager for Greening the Gas Chain at New Energy Coalition
Ruud Paap focuses on bio-based feedstocks from methane-containing gases, also known as biogas/bio-based feedstocks, bio-LNG and other green gases, fermentation, and gasification. Part of his work involves business development, but knowledge sharing and consulting also play a key role in getting green gas projects off the ground. He is affiliated with Green Gas Platform and on TKI New Gas.
Jan Dirk van Mourik | Agricultural expert by experience
Jan Dirk van Mourik is a dairy farmer from Winsum, Friesland, with a passion for sustainability. Thanks to a range of smart solutions, his farm produces more energy than it uses. For example, the cooling heat from the milk is used to replace natural gas, the barn roofs are covered with solar panels, and he generates green gas from manure.
The solar panels generate enough power to power 200 households, and they also produce green grass for 350 households. Jan Dirk also works for FrieslandCampina.
