This project is being proposed by M Ward & Son of Wellfield Farm in Great Habton as we try to develop opportunities to diversify our farming practices and become more sustainable. Our scope will consist of three separate feasibility elements. Starting with an assessment of an innovative geothermal heat/AD combined system, we will identifying the contributions which geothermal heat can have on the AD process, the appropriate infrastructure needed to connect these two assets and the appropriately sized AD for the location, feedstock and geothermal heat available. Secondly, we will undertake a feedstock survey to identify locally available feedstock and its suitability for AD, (e.g. calorific value). Finally, we will identify potential uses for the excess heat including local agricultural heat requirements, greenhouse crops which would match heat supply and other potential heat users (e.g. shrimp/fish farming, mushrooms, insect/protein farming).This project will provide a blueprint for using Net Zero solutions for agricultural heat and energy requirements while utilising surplus heat and energy to create additional opportunities to diversify current farming practices and become more environmentally and financially sustainable.In addition to ourselves, the three work scopes above will involve the following partners and contractors:1.The Biorenewables Development Centre ("BDC" at the University of York) for review of geothermal systems and case studies and Ceraphi Energy Ltd ("Ceraphi") a leading geothermal engineer and developer;2.NNFCC for the feedstock assessment; and3.District Eating ("DE") for the end user assessments.The well owner, Third Energy will be providing the Innovation Manager ("IM") who, together with the above contributors, will provide a broad range of expertise and skills to the project.By identifying ways to efficiently use renewable heat for growing new produce or livestock, it will give our farm and others a way to build a resilient business as we are impacted by climate change and new farming policy. By completing these studies, we would be able to develop in-situ waste to energy solutions and make them more environmentally friendly using renewable heat, we would know what feedstock is available in the local area and determine the processes most profitable for our farm. This could then be adopted locally or be used nationally where there are other redundant wells (or indeed the capacity to drill geothermal wells).

该项目是由大哈布顿（Great Habton）的Wellfield Farm的M Ward＆Son提出的，因为我们试图开发机会来使我们的农业实践多样化并变得更加可持续。我们的范围将由三个独立的可行性元素组成。从评估创新的地热热/AD组合系统开始，我们将确定地热热可以在AD过程中所具有的贡献，连接这两个资产所需的适当基础架构以及适当的AD，用于该位置，预防托管和地理热热。其次，我们将进行一项原料调查，以确定本地可用的原料及其对AD的适用性（例如热量价值）。最后，我们将确定过多热量的潜在用途，包括当地的农产品需求，将与热供应相匹配的温室农作物和其他潜在的热使用者（例如虾/养鱼，蘑菇，蘑菇，昆虫/蛋白质养殖）。该项目将提供一种蓝图，用于使用零零零储物量来实现更多的农业热和能源，以使更多的环境和多样化的环境练习以及当前的多样化机会，以便创造更多的范围，以便创造更多的范围，以便创造出多样化的机会。除我们自己外，上面的三个工作范围还将涉及以下合作伙伴和承包商：1。生物工程师开发中心（约克大学的“ BDC”），以审查地热系统和案例研究以及Ceraphi Energy Ltd（“ Ceraphi”）领先的地热热工程师和开发人员； and3.处于最终用户评估的区域饮食（“ de”）。井所有者，第三能量将提供创新经理（“ IM”），他们将与上述贡献者一起为项目提供广泛的专业知识和技能。通过确定有效地将可再生型热量用于新的农产品或liveStock的新产品和其他工具的方式来建立一个新的工具，并建立了新的努力，以建立新的工具和新的业务，以建立新的工具，以建立一个新的业务。通过完成这些研究，我们将能够将原位废物开发到能源解决方案，并使用可再生热量使它们更环保，我们将知道当地有哪些原料可用，并确定对我们农场最有利可图的过程。然后可以在本地采用，也可以在全国使用其他冗余井（或实际上有能力钻探地热井）。
