GasAbate at ManuREsource 2026

ManuREsource 2026 brought together policymakers, researchers and technology providers to focus on one shared goal: treating manure as a valuable resource through better management, innovation and emissions reduction.

GlasPort Bio was represented at the conference by our business development manager Stephen Fagan, who spoke on the role of practical, on‑farm technologies in reducing emissions from manure management. His contribution focused on how solutions like GasAbate can deliver measurable methane reductions while fitting seamlessly into existing farming systems.

The 7th ManuREsource International Conference in Ede-Wageningen (NL).

Methane emissions from stored slurry remain a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, making them a priority for near‑term climate action. GasAbate addresses this challenge by temporarily suppressing methane‑producing microbes during slurry storage, delivering methane reductions of 78% (third-party assured from the Carbon Trust), while retaining the nutrient value of the slurry for land application or anaerobic digestion.

Supported by automated dosing and integrated measurement, reporting and verification (MRV), GasAbate enables transparent and auditable emissions reporting at farm level. Discussions at ManuREsource reinforced the importance of scalable, science‑led solutions that can be deployed on working farms today, supporting the transition to more circular, low‑carbon agriculture.

Stephen's key takeaways from the conference:

• Manure is increasingly being recognised as a resource, not a waste product
• Emission-reduction solutions must be assessed carefully to avoid unintended trade-offs
• There’s a clear push to move innovation from pilots into everyday on-farm practice
• Policymakers and industry both have an important role to play in supporting adoption of proven and scalable technologies
• Growing focus on manure additives and their role during slurry storage and land application
• Real demand for science-backed solutions that address multiple challenges at once, such as GHGs, ammonia, odour, biogas efficiency, slurry handling and animal performance
