Industrial heat to fruit and veg
Identifying and overcoming the challenges of supplying recovered waste industrial heat to English, Protected Edibles Crops growers to reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions in both. Develop model contracts and a 'match making' service to ensure barriers are minimised.
Moo-thane: A feasibility study into a net-zero enabling intelligent-housing technology to remove dilute methane emissions from livestock.
Methane from the digestive systems of livestock accounts for over 50% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. This is a major barrier for the sector meeting net-zero. Around 1/3rd is released indoors, and could be removed in barn ventilation systems if suitable technology existed. This project pulls together a team spanning commercial, engineering and scientific aspects to demonstrate the feasibility of a catalytic process to decompose dilute methane. Building on already developed technology that decomposes dilute methane (e.g. in coal mining), deployment to the agricultural sector requires an additional process to first concentrate the very dilute methane in barn air.
Development of CFD based modelling tools and retro-fit solutions to provide improved CIPC control in potato storage to meet the new low residual limits & application levels
Potato store efficiency and losses depend crucially on air flows to distribute treatments and to equilibrate temperature and moisture in the breathing crop, without excessive energy consumption and yield loss through dehydration. At least 60% of current stores are failing in this regard, leading to potential exceedances in CIPC - a crucial sprouting suppressant that might be withdrawn as a result - and also to energy and deydration losses. Our new system will develop scientifically based design tools, using detailed maps of air flow, heat/mass transfer and CIPC deposition within boxes and tuber surfacess, to help modify stores' air handling to meet legislative limits and improve resource efficiency. This industrially led project combines leading companies in potato store design and build, store energy and chemical control and potato handling & packing, with scientific support from the Potato Council's Sutton Bridge research facility and Cranfield Uni Aeronautics group. We aim to provide the tools and retrofit options to save the industry over £50M in losses from CIPC failures and improved energy and moisture management.
