[Background]

'Livestock manure solid fuel,' made solely from livestock excreta, is difficult to produce due to the challenge of securing a sufficient lower heating value.

-There is a need to revitalize the 'Solidification of Livestock Excreta' by rationalizing the production standards and to transition the treatment method for livestock excreta, which has mostly been processed into compost/liquid fertilizer (84%).

-Resulting Benefits: Utilizing livestock excreta as a renewable energy source contributes to achieving carbon neutrality, and reduces the occurrence of green algae caused by the oversupply of compost and liquid fertilizer.

[Main Points]

Separately specifying the scope of change permits when a solid fuel production facility is installed at a livestock excreta discharge facility permit.

-If changes occur in the content of the solid fuel facility installation and operation plan—specifically, changes to the facility used, changes to the supplementary raw materials, changes to the mixing ratio, or a change to single fuel production—

-these changes affect the content of the livestock excreta processing volume, processing facility, and processing method, and thus must be specified as subjects for a change permit.
