Additional info
ENFIR process is based on dehydration of manure by our FIR technology to transform it into organic fertilizer for agriculture use at a production cost of 6.8€/m3 (up to 3 time less than current valorisation process) and 30 % of energy saving compared to current methods of heating by steam. ENFIR is able to dry manure up to 15 % of water content in 8 hours cycles with almost no external energy consumption, thanks to the generated gases during the dehydration process that will generate the electricity to feed the whole process.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Tools and equipment electricity consumption
- Fertilizer reduction
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
