Transformation change through Zero Carbon fertilisers: Scale up and delivery to UK fertiliser market

CCm Technologies和克兰菲尔德大学将展示可持续肥料的好处，这些肥料来自捕获的二氧化碳和回收的作物养分，通过改善养分输送提高农业生产力，显著减少农场排放，加速到2050年实现英国净零排放。在2020/21生长季节，CCm和克兰菲尔德在Luton Hoo庄园进行了CCm肥料的可行性试验。这项可行性研究由ISCF转化粮食生产项目资助，开发并测量了三种CCM可持续肥料配方（5 N，10 N，15 N）的田间影响。从一个季节的数据中得出以下结论：_* _** 产量：** CCM肥料在小麦和大麦上的作物产量与常规矿物肥料相当_* _** 排放 **_**：** CCM肥料减少了80%的尿素氨排放。_** 径流量 **_**：** 与常规肥料相比，CCM肥料减少径流量50%以上。_* _** 土壤碳 **_ _--收集的第一季数据，至少需要3季来验证土壤碳储量的增加。所有CCM肥料配方均显示出与常规替代品相当的作物产量，其中10 N肥料表明，减少高达40%的养分施用仍将实现与常规矿物肥料施用相当的作物产量。现在需要进一步的实地数据来验证这一初步迹象，因此将成为本项目的重点。该项目将扩大10 N CCM肥料配方的肥料生产，在2个商业农场进行试验，包括Luton Hoo Estate，该农场继续支持可行性试验。CCM将在该项目期间生产1000吨10 N肥料。在商业食品生产农场上应用10 N将证明CCM肥料在“真实的”商业传播环境中的功效，以提供田间和操作数据来加速农民采用。CCM将利用产生的结果来加速商业伙伴关系，使CCM能够在英国有机无机肥料市场上供应其肥料。项目目标：**_**1\.重点实地和实验室试验 * 产出：**-CCM肥料养分利用效率的证据-潜在土壤碳积累的证据-对更广泛环境影响的证据-温室气体和扩散污染地点：Luton Hoo Estate &克兰菲尔德大学 **2\.扩大规模：商业农场试验-氯氰菊酯化肥试验。--1000吨 * 产量：** 完成1000吨CCM肥料的生产在英国2个粮食生产农场每个季节完成50吨CCM肥料的施用确认CCM肥料完成与矿物肥料相当的作物产量和施肥效果。地点：Luton Hoo Estate，修道院农场。

CCm Technologies and Cranfield University will demonstrate the benefits of Sustainable Fertilisers, derived from captured CO2 and recovered crop nutrients, increasing farm productivity through improved nutrient delivery, significantly reducing on-farm emissions, accelerating UK Net Zero by 2050\.During the 2020/21 growing season, CCm and Cranfield carried out feasibility trials of CCm fertilisers at Luton Hoo estate. This feasibility study, funded through; _'**ISCF Transforming Food Production**'_ _developed and measured field impacts from three CCm sustainable fertiliser formulations (5N, 10N, 15N). The following conclusions were achieved from one season data;_* _**Yield:** CCm fertiliser demonstrated equivalent crop yield on wheat and barley vs conventional mineral fertiliser_* _**Emissions**__**:** CCm fertiliser reduced ammonia emissions by 80% to Urea._* _**Runoff**__**:** CCm fertiliser indicated reduced runoff of more than 50% vs conventional fertiliser._* _**Soil Carbon**_ _-- 1st season data collected, at least 3 seasons required to validate increase in soil carbon stocks.__All CCm fertiliser formulations showed equivalent crop yield to the conventional alternative with the 10N fertiliser indicating up to 40% less nutrient application will still achieve equivalent crop yield to a conventional mineral fertiliser application. Further field data is now required to validate this initial indication and will therefore form the focus of this project.__This project will scale up fertiliser production of the 10N CCm fertiliser formulation to trial at 2 commercial farms, including Luton Hoo Estate who has continued their support from feasibility trials. CCm will produce 1000tonnes of the 10N fertiliser during this project. Application of the 10N on commercial food production farms will demonstrate efficacy of the CCm fertiliser in a 'real' commercial spreading environment to provide field and operational data to accelerate farmer adoption. CCm will use results generated to accelerate commercial partnerships to allow CCm to supply its fertilisers within the UK organo-mineral fertiliser market.__**Project Objectives:**_**1\.
