Centre for High Carbon Capture Cropping (CH Cx3)

该项目将建立一个？**高碳捕获作物中心 **（**CH Cx3**）。这个多元化的团队将在选定的四个作物组（已知与高碳捕获潜力有关）上合作。该小组将确保通过一个负责传播和推广的中央知识中心向农民和政府提供项目成果和产出。CHCx 3将通过提高这些作物捕获和储存二氧化碳的能力来评估和开发英国农业中增加碳（C）捕获的潜力。除了从空气中捕获大气中的二氧化碳并将其储存在土壤中，我们还将考虑如何将作物本身用于生产：由这些作物制成的新产品。这些包括替代砖/碎砖、织物和刨花板。能源作物替代天然气/石油。简而言之，尽可能取代不可再生的碳密集型生产材料。可持续建筑材料中的大麻和亚麻）和喂养牲畜生产系统的作物（例如，实现气候变化目标需要农民和使用和销售农作物产品的行业（称为价值链）对经济上可行的农作物生产有信心。加强和试行价值链的组成部分是该项目的一个主要组成部分。我们将帮助农民实施政府的激励计划，例如“环境土地管理”计划（ELM），该计划通过付款使农民能够实现更广泛的公共利益目标。CHCx 3汇集了企业，种植者，行业专家和其他利益相关者;通过讨论，严格的测试和生命周期分析，评估经济回报并验证预期的气候变化缓解和农场减排。农民和其他利益相关者将能够通过两个用户友好的基于网页的“应用程序”访问该项目的数据，其中一个应用程序已经在最近资助的姐妹项目中开发。CHCx3** hub;持续的活动和增长是通过应用程序的开发和农民的招聘得到保证;由国家会员团体，如全国农民联盟，FarmED，NIAB和英国，北爱尔兰和苏格兰大麻协会的协助。完成后，育种工作也将继续进行。考虑的主要“绿色温室气体（GHG）排放是二氧化碳，但第二个关键的GHG将通过减少使用氮基肥料来减少;即一氧化氮排放;这也将被量化。

This project will establish a?**Centre for High Carbon Capture Cropping**?(**CH Cx3**). The diverse team will work together on a selected set of four crop groups (already known to be associated with high carbon-capture potential). The team will ensure Project outcomes and outputs will be made available to farmers and government via a central knowledge hub dealing with dissemination and outreach. CHCx3 will evaluate and develop the potential for increased carbon (C) capture within UK agriculture by improving these crops' ability to capture and store Carbon-dioxide.In addition to capturing atmospheric Carbon-dioxide from the air and storing it in the soil, we will consider how the crops themselves can be used in production of: new products made from those crops. These include substitutes bricks/breeze blocks, fabrics and chip-board. Energy-crops substitute for gas/oil. In short, replacing non-renewable, carbon-intensive production materials where possible.Diversifying crop species (e.g., hemp and flax in sustainable building materials) and crops to feed livestock production systems (e.g., diverse grass and flower mixtures) has the potential to increase farm resilience, reduce crop inputs and help improve the environment.Addressing climate change goals requires that farmers and industry using and selling crop products (known as value-chains) have confidence in economically viable crop production. strengthening and piloting components of value-chains is a major component of the project. We will help farmers to deliver government incentive schemes, such as the 'Environmental Land Management' scheme (ELM) which, through payments, enables farmers to hit targets for broader public good.?CHCx3 brings together businesses, growers, industry-experts and other stakeholders; evaluates economic returns and validates anticipated climate-change mitigation and emissions reductions on-farm and through product-use by discussion, rigorous testing and life cycle analysis. Farmers and other stakeholders will be able to access data from the project through two user friendly Webpage-based 'Apps', one of which is already being developed in a recently funded sister project.Networking, knowledge exchange grower/user interaction and engagement with policy-makers are at the heart of the?**CHCx3** hub; continued activity and growth is guaranteed through App development and recruitment of farmers; assisted by national membership groups such as the National Farmers Union, FarmED, NIAB and the British, Northern-Irish and Scottish Hemp Associations. Breeding work will continue too following completionThe main 'Green House Gas (GHG) emission considered is carbon-dioxide, but a second key GHG will be reduced through reduced use of nitrogen-based fertilisers; namely nitrous-oxide emissions; this will also be quantified.
