The contract is worth \n €909,920, of which €376,000 has been received, with delivery of the project \n expected to complete in H2 2022. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Group's agri-waste treatment solution, which is based on its Integrated Shredder and Steriliser (\"ISS\") technology, enables the efficient treatment of\n \n any poultry or bovine remains \n onsite in an eco-friendly process. Treatment of the remains at the facility removes the environmental hazards and carbon footprint associated with transportation. The remains can be turned into pure protein and fat that can be used as fishmeal. The Group's solution does not use any harmful materials, chemicals or methods and the process does not have any negative environmental impact or produce any damaging by-products. The solution also benefits from being odourless and having nearly zero carbon dioxide emissions. \n \n \n \n \n \n This is the Group's first contract in Africa for its agri-waste solution, representing further geographical expansion to another significant livestock market. In Botswana in particular, the cattle industry dominates the agricultural sector.\n \n \n \n \n \n BATM is also pleased to note that the Group's ISS technology will be presented at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), currently taking place in Glasgow, by the President of an African nation. It will be discussed as part of the Great Green Wall Accelerator, a programme launched earlier this year to support the Great Green Wall Initiative to restore degraded land, create economic opportunities and enhance food security and climate resilience i...
