This proposal details both the experimental and simulation-based research of a waste-to-energy-to-agriculture process. The process has four functions; (i) the disposal of wet biomass waste, (ii) the production of renewable electricity, (iii) carbon negative heating and (iv) organic crops. The process technologies include hydrothermal carbonisation for producing hydrochar from waste, combined heat and power for energy production, and a vertical urban farm for the efficient production of crops through controlled-environment agriculture. The research aims to investigate alterative process models on gPROMS software to evaluate the optimal operating conditions and economic feasibility when applying the process to a new city or airport.

该提案详细介绍了废物-能源-农业过程的实验和模拟研究。该过程有四个功能：（一）处理湿生物质废物，（二）生产可再生电力，（三）碳负加热和（四）有机作物。这些工艺技术包括从废物中生产水热炭的水热碳化，用于能源生产的热电联产，以及通过受控环境农业有效生产农作物的垂直城市农场。本研究旨在探讨gPROMS软件的替代过程模型，以评估将该过程应用于新城市或机场时的最佳操作条件和经济可行性。
