well done ,great video ,full marks for reminding us how badly we have been treated by ESB and countless governments in Ireland for the past 40 years since its been discovered we can produce power in a very environmentally friendly fashion down on the farm . Esb still cant see their way to encouraging it and gov dont seem to be bothered either , but they all sure know how to increase charge for the units, form 17c 3 years ago to present tally at 48c. Fair play and again Great vid.

Hi Phil the company I work for feeds gas and electricity into the national grid in Ireland. Mostly from food waste they run their own trucks and vans on cng from scrubbed methane. The Dutch were always ahead of the rest of Europe IMO

I was on a farm in Carlow about 15 years ago that had one of these. It was run by a German family. They had about 200 cows and they also made cheese. Ireland with regards to Electricity is about 20 years behind some of the top countries in Europe. The ESB and the dept of energy are a joke. Our policies make no sense.

I'd love to see you visit the farm I work at (also in the netherland) we also have a digester only we don't export gas we make hot water and electricty for the grid. and a very recent addition wich was kinda talked about in this video is a mini fertilizer plant that with alot of electricity and the digest pull nitrogen out of the air and puts it into the slurry thus making it kinda liquid fertilizer (prototype ish rn) also we do all of our grasswork ourselfs and there's an intire side of the buisness wich is kind of a daycare for people with diabilities that want to work. sad that you've already done your holland tour but there's always a next time right? anyway great video interesting to see a digester from a diffrent brand setup quitte diffrently to what i'm used to 👍

It has been known by greens that co2 could be halved and that and 87 percent carbin footprint reduction by putting slurry true an A D plant.You have to ask why this wasn't soporter enthusiastically. The future land growing scrub as the farmers described is way greens prefer the land to be rather than monoculture even with many different veritys of grass . Lots of green policy are to make farmers less productive less cow's per acer ect with subsidies . If they achieve this how long will thay super no productivity farmers.

Just for a bit of context, Holland is the size of Munster and has 17 million people of a population. It’s essentially a big city and that’s why there’s a gas grid . Future of farming looks like Buildings, tanks pipes and cables .

An ad plant use a tird of its energy heeting the substrate By this farmer putting energy from the pv panel into the ad plant he can save a tird more gas/stored energ the holy gril of renuble energy . Turning pv energy into stored energy.By transporter gass from farms to an chp planat in a larger bilding in towns means at peack time breakfast and dining times the chp plants can come on heating the building and creates electric power busting the grid .electricity becomes the substute for a gas grid .Chp plants are some thing like 95 percent efecient
