For centuries, many countries around the world have used manure as a source of heat
and energy. The objective of this project is to obtain a pellet fuel whose main source or raw material is the lignocellulosic biomass contained in cow or horse manure.
Ruminant animals that feed mainly on forages in their digestive process use cellulose as a source of sugar, leaving lignin as waste, which is indigestible but has a calorific value of 4,700-5,000 Kcal/kg. equivalent to 20 MJ/kg., if burned with 100% efficiency
This biomass contained in the waste from intensive livestock herds is currently being
wasted in Spain, when its recovery would allow closing the circle of by-products and
waste, while contributing to generating significant socioeconomic and environmental benefits.

Recycling cow dung prevents it from breaking down into methane, a greenhouse gas that is far worse for the environment than carbon dioxide.

DEYMA has made the circular economy the center of its comprehensive development and growth by helping to reduce pollution from industrial livestock effluents.

Thermal applications with the production of heat and sanitary hot water are the most
common within the biomass sector, although pellets can also be used for the industrial production of electricity, in biorefineries or bioethanol plants.

It is a new sustainable alternative of clean “green energy” with high caloric value, 07-0.8 times higher than the caloric value of coal, respectful with the environment, which replaces traditional fossil fuels such as coal itself, oil, gas natural or electricity, by presenting a reduced emission of pollutants into the atmosphere, elimination of odors and not contributing to the greenhouse effect as it also has a neutral CO2 balance. This last feature is a renewable energy source that helps meet climate change agreements.
