At LWR, we're always looking for new ways to help producers get MORE value from every gallon of manure. That's why we're proud to partner with researchers at the University of Calgary's Calgary Sensor Lab to develop a next-generation nutrient sensor.
Using microwave technology, the sensor is designed to continuously measure nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in manure streams, without ever contacting the liquid. Installed directly within an LWR manure treatment system, it has the potential to provide producers with real-time nutrient data, eliminating the need for manual sampling and laboratory testing.
The technology could help improve nutrient management, support more precise land application, reduce input costs, and give producers greater confidence in the nutrient value of their manure.
The research team has successfully validated multiple nutrient combinations and filed a U.S. patent as they move toward commercialization, with field trials expected to continue through 2027.
Innovation has always been at the heart of LWR, and we're excited to continue working alongside the University of Calgary to bring practical, science-based solutions to dairy producers.
As artificial intelligence continues driving demand for electricity, renewable natural gas (RNG) produced from manure is gaining attention as a potential energy source for data centers.
A recent project in New York is using biogas generated from dairy manure to help power on-site computing infrastructure, demonstrating another emerging opportunity to create value from agricultural waste.
At LWR, we've always believed manure is more than a by-product. It's a valuable resource and as new markets for renewable natural gas continue to emerge, innovative manure management will play an increasingly important role in helping producers create more value from every gallon.
Around the world, manure is taking on new economic value.
In Europe, stricter environmental regulations and rising fertilizer prices are driving increased demand for manure as a nutrient source. Dutch producers are now exporting manure to neighboring countries where nutrients remain in demand, demonstrating how changing regulations and markets are reshaping the value of livestock manure.
At LWR, we've long believed manure is one of agriculture's most valuable untapped resources. As markets around the world continue to recognize that value, producers have even more opportunities to recover nutrients, improve sustainability, and create new revenue streams. Connect with us to learn how we can help you recover MORE from your manure.
If you've been wondering whether carbon markets could make sense for your farm, our latest webinar is a great place to start.
Ryan Stilson from 3Degrees and I walked through how carbon markets work, what methane avoidance credits are, and how improved manure management can create new revenue opportunities for dairy producers.
In the webinar, we cover:
How methane avoidance credits are generated.
The difference between voluntary and supply-chain carbon markets.
What revenue opportunities may be available for dairy farms.
How carbon credits can be combined with other environmental incentives.
Real examples of farms already benefiting from LWR technology.
Whether you're just starting to explore carbon markets or you're ready to dig a little deeper, I think you'll find some valuable takeaways.

As interest in nutrient recovery and water recycling continues to grow, Livestock Water Recycling systems are finding their way onto more farms.
This month, one of our latest systems was shipped to a Canadian customer and will soon be installed to help improve on farm manure management. It's one of several projects keeping our team busy, with another system already being prepared for shipment to the United Kingdom.
It's exciting to see the technology gaining traction both at home and internationally, and we look forward to sharing updates as these installations come to life!
Curious whether an LWR system is right for your operation? We'd be happy to discuss your goals and explore what's possible.
EXPANDING YOUR HERD STARTS WITH A GOOD MANURE PLAN
Adding cows creates new opportunities, but it also means MORE manure, greater water demand, increased hauling, and MORE complex nutrient management. That's why it's important to think about your manure management strategy before your herd expands.
LWR's technology platforms are designed to help farms increase treatment capacity while recovering reusable water and converting nutrients into forms that are easier to manage and use.
One LWR customer was able to add approximately 600 cows without building additional manure storage or increasing hauling requirements. It's a great example of how the right manure management strategy can support long-term growth.
Thinking about expanding? We'd love to talk about what your manure management system needs to handle next.
The World Biogas Expo once again highlighted the growing
importance of recovering value from organic waste streams.
Representing LWR, our UK partner Genesis Agri
connected with producers, engineers, and industry leaders to discuss how
nutrient recovery is becoming an increasingly important part of anaerobic
digestion projects around the world.
Events like these help LWR stay connected with global trends
while strengthening relationships with partners advancing nutrient recovery
worldwide.
The event featured a live demonstration of LWR's manure treatment system, giving producers the opportunity to see the system in action, hear firsthand about the host dairy's experience, and discuss real-world applications with industry experts.
The field day also brought together representatives from the California Air Resources Board, the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Dairy Cares, dairy consultants, agricultural lenders, and producers, reflecting the growing interest in practical manure management solutions that improve both environmental performance and farm profitability.

LWR JOINS LIVESTOCK LEADERS AT THE CALGARY STAMPEDE
During this year’s Calgary Stampede, members of the LWR team attended the International Livestock Congress, a one-day conference bringing together producers, researchers, market experts and policymakers from across the livestock industry.
The program explored everything from cattle markets and international trade to ranch profitability and emerging agricultural technologies. Events like this give LWR the opportunity to stay connected with the broader livestock sector, build new relationships and better understand the issues shaping the future of manure management and agricultural sustainability.
