Feasibility Study for a Urea-based Fertiliser and Distributed Processing Network

价格上涨和合成化肥对环境的影响正在推动对天然替代品的需求。合成肥料的价格在过去一年中上涨了140%，达到每吨1000 GB以上。这给我们的农村经济、农民的生计和英国的食品供应链带来了巨大的压力。预计政府将通过可持续农业激励计划鼓励采用自然和可持续的替代方案。天然肥料市场正以11.5%的复合年增长率增长，全球市场价值达到120亿GB。该项目将探索通过位于农场大门前的本地化生产单元来扩大天然尿素基肥料的市场可行性、供应链和循环性。结果将包括：1.市场参与和遵守有机物质标准2.一种新生产工艺的技术可行性可扩展的商业模式

Price inflation and the environmental impacts of synthetic fertilisers are driving a demand for natural alternatives. The price of synthetic fertiliser has increased by 140% over the past year to over £1,000 per tonne. This puts our rural economy, the livelihoods of farmers, and the UK food supply chain under intense pressure. The government is anticipated to incentivise adoption of natural and sustainable alternatives via The Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme. The natural fertiliser market is growing at 11.5% CAGR with a global market value of £12bn. This project will explore the market feasibility, supply chain and circularity of scaling a natural urea-based fertiliser via localised production units situated before the farm-gate. The outcomes will include:1. Market engagement and compliance with organics standards2. Technical feasibility of a new production process3. A scalable commercial model
