| Sumario: | The lignin degradation by fungi method is in an experimental stage. On a large scale, it would significantly contribute to the fodder supply of ruminants. However, based on the present experiences and expertise, it is not likely a process that can be applied at a large scale is developed in the next two years (the remaining duration of the project P249). Many challenges must be addressed before the method will be ready for application on farms or in climate controlled industrial halls.
Since the application in practice is not developed yet, it will be hard (1) to estimate the impact of the application of the lignin degradation approach on GHG emissions and (2) to explore the economic feasibility of the process.
The proposal of the Chinese (Chinese Agricultural University (CAU) and Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS)) and Dutch (WUR) partners in the P249 project team is to use the budgets scheduled for the lignin degradation sub-project within P249 (project is called WP3) to enhance the impact of WP2 (Piloting and scaling of LED options in large scale dairy farms in China).
