Nitrogen reduction project wins Cleantech Battle 2022

Henry Kozorezov of Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences has won the annual Cleantech Battle with his project ‘AEMS´, a concrete solution to the nitrogen issue. By separating cattle faeces, less ammonia, and therefore nitrogen, is released. On top of the title, Henry will take home a sum of €1500. ‘I am really happy! I want to help farmers through my project by making them part of the solution, rather than the problem!’

On 16 June, six student teams from the eastern Netherlands pitched their innovative ideas in the field of sustainability and clean technology. The Cleantech Battle 2022 is an initiative organised by Platform Techniek Stedendriehoek and co-sponsored by Cleantech Regio and the Municipality of Deventer.

Jury chair Eveline Buter on the winning project: ‘As jury members, we looked at the innovative content and impact of each project. The ‘AEMS’ project offers a solution to a fundamental problem. This is achieved with a relatively simple solution that is easy to implement. Furthermore, it is highly scalable. A deserved winner!’
