FOREWORD Dear Cré Members,

Welcome once again to a new year, which we will see growth in the sector, and a new set ofchallenges facing our industry.

Cré has been at the forefront of “change” and had many successes to its credit in 2011 are:

Landfill levy increase to €75/tonne

REFIT 3 for anaerobic digestion

26 events/ training courses and conferences delivered

‘AD Europe 2011 International Conference’. Fáilte Ireland said 150-180k was spent in Ireland byinternational delegates

1,398 training days delivered to the industry

80 free training days to unemployed people

‘Cré Compost Skillnet’. Funded by member companies and the Training Networks Programme,an initiative of Skillnets Ltd. funded from the National Training Fund through the Department ofEducation and Skills.

After many years green shoots of growth are emerging in the sector:

Since the introduction of the Renewable Obligation Certificates in Northern Ireland, there havebeen over 70 planning applications for on- farm AD plants. AD as an alternative enterprise forfarmer’s looks set to be vibrant.

The landfill levy has increased to €50/tonne and is set to increase to €65 in July, creating theincentive for waste companies to divert organic waste towards our composting and AD facilities.

REFIT 3 was recently opened and many AD facilities waiting for this will hopefully be built.

However, our next Landfill Directive Diversion target is only next year in 2013. We must n’tunderestimate the challenges facing us to meet this EU target.

We must re-double our efforts and ensure:

Improved implementation of the Commercial Food Waste Regulations

Implementation of the imminent Household Food Waste Regulations

Increase the landfill levy as planned

Increase composting/AD capacity in the country

Increase knowledge on the use of brown bin

Educate end users how to use compost

Develop market for quality compost

As Cré is a ‘not for profit’ organisation with limited resources, members’ support is greatlyappreciated. On behalf everyone, I thank you and wish you every success in 2012.

Martin EvesChairman, February 2012

Cré – Institute of Technology SligoCertificate in Compost Facility Operation

Oct/Nov 2012

To date nearly 100 people have graduated from this course since it was established in 2007. This course

provides compost operators, regulators of facilities and anyone interested in starting a composting facility

with the practical knowledge on how to compost properly, how to produce a high quality compost product

and how to be compliant with all the regulations. The course was developed by Cré in co-operation with

FÁS and Institute of Technology Sligo. The course allows participants to satisfy the general Environmental

Protection Agency requirement for a suitably qualified and experienced facility manager to operate a

licensed composting facility.

COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO COMPLETED THE COURSE

“From the site visits, I have taken different techniques on record keeping and house management to improve

my existing site” Kevin McCabe, Enrich.

“Our composting facility is just about to start operating and the course has given us virtually all the

information and tools to ensure that we get off to a good start” Pete Murtagh, Sligo County Council.

“We are at the start up stage-excellent for overall information” John Prunty, Preseco Ireland.

“More than met expectations, excellently organised and delivered. The site visits were particularly useful

and excellent to see some of the subjects/theory/equipment etc. in practice”” Andrew Wilson, Ballymun

Regeneration.

“Difficult to make suggestions for improvements in what I consider the best of many courses I have attended”

P.J. Phelan, Phelan Services.

METHODOLOGY: The course is delivered by a team of approved tutors who have extensive national and

international experience in the field of composting/waste management. Students are required to complete

site visit reports for each composting facility visited. A comprehensive training manual (300 pages) and

copies of all presentation will be provided to everyone. It will be taught in classrooms and there will be site

visits to a number of composting facilities, such as a large green waste composting facility (windrow

technology), a small green waste composting facility and two food waste composting facilities (In- vessel

Planning for an Anaerobic Digestion FacilityLate June 2012

With the introduction of government incentives, such as ROCs (Northern Ireland) and REFIT (Ireland) for theproduction of renewable energy, anaerobic digestion (AD) is now a viable technology that offers huge potential forrevenue generation for farmers and waste operators alike.

Anaerobic digestion produces a high energy containing gas, known as biogas, which can be used for green energyproduction. The technology is simple, yet robust, and well developed across the continent. AD is a new developmentfor Northern Ireland and offers great opportunity for those who wish to enter the renewable energy market.

To facilitate the growth of the sector Cré has developed a “Planning for Anaerobic Digestion Facility” training course.The course is a highly intensive 2 day training course targeted specifically at projects in Northern Ireland and Ireland.The course will give participants a clear understanding of what anaerobic digestion is, basic design criteria, planning& regulatory requirements, grid connection, project economics, financing, and much more. The course includes avisit to an operational anaerobic digestion plant. The course will prepare participants wishing to develop anaerobicdigestion plants and allow individuals to up skill in the area of Anaerobic Digestion.

The objective of the course is to educate individuals involved in anaerobic digestion, be it farmers, waste operators,planners, decision markers with all the knowledge to assist them in developing an anaerobic digestion project. Thecourse will not allow participants to design their own plant but will provide them with sufficient knowledge whendealing with technology providers, government agencies, planners, banks, to make well informed decisions.

Comments from People Who Completed the Course in 2011:“Just a short note to say well done on an excellent course in Adare. It was exactly what I needed and I came home verysatisfied with two days well spent. The programme, its pace, the calibre of the speakers, the time for formal/informaldiscussion and all ancillary issues were of a top professional standard”. Pádraig O’Kiely, Teagasc,“Good mix of attendees, very interesting presentations across the AD sector issues”“The course was good because of the amount of expertise available to answer questions”“Very informative, covers many angles, great for anyone considering involvement in anaerobic digestion”“The group exercises were great at demonstrating the effect of all the different variables on the process”

All the people who completed the course were surveyed and said the course was value for money.

Intended ForFarmers – wishing to develop their own projects will now learn steps involved in getting a project off the ground.How to access their feedstock for biogas potential and if the project is economical.Project Developers – for use in development of anaerobic digestion projects. The principles described in the courseare designed to assist developers understand the basics of plant design and potential “red tape” that could slowdown projects.Waste Industry – wishing to develop their own projects will now learn steps involved in getting a project off theground. How to access their feedstock for biogas potential and if the project is economicalPlanners and Decision Makers- for use in understanding basic principles of anaerobic digestion plants. As plannersand decision makers will gain a better understanding of what is required for successful plants, they will be betterequipped to support planning applications for anaerobic digestion facility projects.Consultants and Designers- for use in designing and assisting clients with the development of their anaerobicdigestion projects.Regulators and Enforcement Agencies- for use in understanding basic principles of anaerobic digestion plants,which will assist then in their role as regulators of anaerobic digestion facilities.Individuals – Who wish to gain an understanding of anaerobic digestionInvestor and Financial Instructions – Will provide an understanding of the potential project risks and how toproperly access the economics of anaerobic digestion projects.

Quality compost developments

Compost quality standard

Cré research, funded by EPA, analysed Irish compost quality databases and developed an industry quality

standard, for source separated biowaste derived compost. This standard, proposing parameter limit values,

was published 2009.

In 2009, rx3 requested the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI)

to use the industry quality standard to develop an Irish Standard. NSAI

established a Working Group representing sector stakeholders. This group

agreed definitions, feedstocks, sampling, analysis procedures, limit values

and packaging requirements. Following public consultation, the standard

was published by NSAI as Irish Standard I.S. 441, in June 2011.

www.rx3.ie/National-compost-quality-standard.

Compost quality assurance scheme

rx3 appointed Certification Europe Ltd. to develop a compost quality

assurance scheme using I.S. 441 product specification. The 30 month

project started February 2011, and comprises three phases.

1. Drafting CQAS documentation.

2. Trialling the draft CQAS at compost facilities. Audits, recommendations, training and an action

programme are implemented.

3. Operating CQAS on pilot basis from mid-2012, facilities to be accredited.

Twenty, composting facilities have been recruited, audited and trained in phase 2. These facilities represent

c. 67% (245,500 tonnes) of the total operational capacity of Irish composting facilities. Indications are

that producers are well prepared, with documented procedures and processes to support progression to

certification. Feedback from operators with the process to date has been very positive.

Certification Europe has developed a quality mark to assist in marketing and

identifying high quality compost and in increasing overall awareness and

understanding of quality compost issues.

An awareness programme is being developed during 2012 to develop

awareness of the scheme in compost users.
