Poultry litter as energy source

Hoppers of poultry waste at a power station in Eye, Suffolk, UK, where it is burned to produce approx 12.5 megawatts of electrical energy. Workers in this area of the plant must wear portable breathing equipment because of emissions of dust, ammonia and other noxious gases from the chicken droppings, and contaminated straw and woodshavings. Ash from the process is re-sold as a nitrate-free fertiliser,
