YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, : The Lusakert pedigree poultry farm has
constructed a biogas processing plant. The nature protection ministry
said the plant is part of Armenia’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Armenia is a signatory to Kyoto Protocol.

The plant will reduce the amount of biogas emitted by waste disposal
of the poultry farm. Until lately the waste and droppings of the farm
that ahs over 400,000 chickens were poured out to several small lakes
becoming a hotbed of pollution.

The plant will not only decrease the amount of greenhouse emissions and
waste disposal, but will also reduce the risk of pathogenic organisms’
spread. The droppings and waste disposals will be processed into safe,
high- quality and efficient organic fertilizer.

The plant was built on a credit from the government of Norway.
