Additional info
Producing pig meat and dairy products are energy intensive processes, consuming up to 16% of the whole consumption in the agricultural sector as well as high quantities of water. Cow and pig farms produce enormous quantities of waste; in European Union, pig farms alone produce 298×106m3 of slurry per year causing odour and water pollution when inappropriately treated and disposed. As animal manure is classified as high-risk waste (Regulation No 1069/2009), the European Union bans the landfilling of organic and high caloric value material from 2013 (directive 2008/98) and requests for specific treatment, especially encouraging the production of biogas from manure, slurry and other organic waste.
With the KUDURA system the EU objectives are tackled by reducing the waste, using sustainable renewable energies and by reducing greenhouse gas emission levels while providing farmers with an all-in-one solution for water reuse and renewable energy independence.
Our solution will be upgraded and adapted to agricultural markets in European countries, where the need for sustainable, flexible and affordable solutions increases. Our company RVE.SOL is a social entrepreneurship specialized in developing and implementing renewable energy and water treatment solutions. Based in Portugal, our highly internationalised team in RVE.SOL holds a mutually complementing skillset.

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:- Buildings electricity consumption
- Fertilizer reduction
- Manure 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.
