The DryGro Energy Crops (DEC) project will develop a way of producing biofuels on land that is currently too arid to support crops. Using the DryGro system that reduces the amount of water required to produce biomass by 99% compared to conventional agriculture, DEC will explore the production of biofuel in Kenya and examine the potential for application in other arid areas.A detailed Life Cycle Assessment and Integrated Sustainability Assessment will be undertaken to determine the social, environmental and developmental impact of this approach. It is anticipated that the DEC approach will reduce the negative impacts on food production, water security, biodiversity and land tenure associated with existing biofuel production methods.

DryGro能源作物(DEC)项目将开发一种在目前过于干旱而无法种植作物的土地上生产生物燃料的方法。使用DryGro系统，与传统农业相比，生产生物质所需的水量减少了99%，DEC将探索肯尼亚的生物燃料生产，并研究在其他干旱地区的应用潜力。将进行详细的生命周期评估和综合可持续评估，以确定这种方法的社会、环境和发展影响。预计DEC方法将减少与现有生物燃料生产方法相关的对粮食生产、水安全、生物多样性和土地保有权的负面影响。
