Scientific works
The importance SOP gives to scientific research has generated numerous publications, presented at the most prestigious congresses, regarding this sector, all over the world:
New Scientific Publication on Emissions Mitigation
SOP LAGOON, when added to dairy slurry storage pits, can reduce ammonia (NH3) and GHG emissions, namely methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, while lowering nitrate accumulation. SOP LAGOON could contribute to the reduction of atmospheric emissions caused by manure storage, positively affect climate change and make intensive farming more sustainable.
