Project summary

The project innovates a new operating model based on the joint construction of a dairy farm and a biogas plant, which supports rural vitality, circular economy and energy efficiency. The aim is to innovate a more advanced model than the established implementation concept, in which several units are designed and implemented taking into account the connection and organization of energy efficiency. The implementation will achieve more synergy benefits, such as lower costs, better utilization of resources and better utilization of energy potential. The project will store process measurement data, which will help optimize energy efficiency. The project responds to the economic challenges of rural areas by providing an example of profitable, environmentally friendly farm operations. The project is being implemented in 2026–2028 by ProAgria Länsi-Suomi with partners. The target group is agricultural entrepreneurs and other rural actors, the project supports with information, an operating model and concrete examples. The project strongly supports the energy self-sufficiency and security of supply of farms. The project operates in several reference frameworks, such as the circular economy, green transition and rural development. Its results are presented through modeling and reporting. Project communication is achieved through linkages in different channels at all stages of the project. After the project is completed, the farms can utilize the solutions and expertise created.
