Abstract:
The HevosWatti project advances the possibilities for utilising bioenergy in the South Savo region. The demonstration tests will improve fuel management at energy production plants and the utilisation of horse manure as fuel, and they will also assist in monitoring the effect of the fuel on, e.g., emissions. The demonstration tests of the HevosWatti project will initiate a shared energy management supply chain between the region’s energy production plants and horse sector entrepreneurs – from the stables to the boiler. The project will promote the financial operational conditions of the entrepreneurs and create new forms of additional income in rural areas. The project will result in new information on the functionality of horse manure as a raw material source for co-incineration. In addition, the practical trials will bring new information on the performance of logistics. The results of the project will improve the operational prerequisites of entrepreneurs in the horse and transportation sectors, and energy production plants, and will add to the business opportunities in the region. The project results can be duplicated and utilised, both regionally as well as nationwide. They can also be used by companies targeting international markets.
