The proposal advocates for significant changes to slurry storage regulations, suggesting that the minimum storage capacity be raised from 1,000 to 2,500 cubic meters. This adjustment aims to buffer against adverse weather during manure and digestate application, enhancing nutrient uptake by plants.

It also calls for covering all storage tanks to reduce emissions and improve nutrient quality. Additionally, the proposal seeks exemptions for larger biogas plants using land-spread materials and aims to standardize storage height regulations for silage and biomass facilities, while extending exemptions for renewable energy technologies.
