IDRO Group received the Lorenzo Cagnoni Award for Green Innovation at Ecomondo 2026, winning the award for most innovative exhibitor in the Bio-Energy & Agriculture category. The award recognises LAMBDA®, IDRO Group’s technology for recovering nitrogen from digestate.
Recovering nitrogen from digestate
LAMBDA® recovers nitrogen from the liquid fraction of digestate as ammonium sulphate, which can be used as a fertiliser. The process recovers nutrients for agriculture from a by-product of anaerobic digestion.
A life cycle assessment (LCA), conducted in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, found that, in the scenarios studied, LAMBDA® achieved the following reductions compared with conventional digestate management:
-
Up to 77% lower overall environmental footprint
-
Up to 54% lower climate footprint, measured in CO₂ equivalent emissions
The award recognises IDRO Group’s work to integrate nutrient recovery into the biogas and biomethane sectors and deliver measurable environmental benefits.
