An engineering professor at the University of Regina is looking at ways of converting manure for possible use for heating and power generation. “The current practice for cattle manure disposal is to spread the manure on the land and recycle the nutrients through natural processes. However, land application of raw manure may not take full advantage of the nutrients contained in the manure,” explains Dr. Gordon Huang, a professor of Environmental Systems Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, and Executive Director of the Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities (IEESC).
