DELIVER: Decarbonising Emissions from Livestock: Innovative Valorisation of waste for Energy Resilience

畜牧业生产目前是碳排放的主要来源，但动物产品消费仍将是世界上许多经济体的主要生计来源。创新、有效的循环畜禽废物管理系统在帮助农业部门实现净零排放目标方面发挥着关键作用，同时为畜禽养殖户提供商业上可行的多样化机会，这将大大改善畜禽养殖户的健康状况。它们的生产力、可持续性和复原力。该项目将研究将农场可再生能源和模块化废物管理技术整合到一个新的循环智能系统中的技术经济可行性和政策前景，该系统将最大限度地提高牲畜废物的价值并减少生产的碳足迹。独特的是，该项目将重点放在昆虫养殖与猪和家禽生产的整合上。因此，DELIVER催化了英国农业技术和农场商业模式的范式转变，同时为净零农业提供了一个强大的、面向未来的解决方案。通过优化畜牧业、废物管理和能源生产，这些系统可以融入新的经济领域，产生清洁的可出口能源、低碳气体产品，并为农业部门带来可持续的收入。这项研究将确定最可行的商业解决方案，并开发一个设计工具包，以优化现有的牲畜农场和未来的农场。

Livestock production is currently a major contributor to carbon emissions, however consumption of animal products will continue to be a major source of sustenance for many economies around the world. Innovative, effective, circular livestock waste management systems play a key role in helping the agricultural sector reach its net zero target, whilst providing commercially viable diversification opportunities for livestock farmers that will substantially?improve?their productivity, sustainability and resilience.The **DELIVER** project will investigate the techno-economic feasibility and policy landscape of integrating on-farm renewable energy and modular waste management technologies into a novel, circular SMART system that maximises the valorisation of livestock waste and reduces the carbon footprint of production. Uniquely, the project will focus on integrating insect farming with pig and poultry production. **DELIVER** therefore catalyses a paradigm shift in British Farming technology and farm business models, whilst providing a robust, futureproof solution for net zero agriculture.By optimising livestock husbandry, waste management and energy generation, these systems can integrate into new areas of the economy, generating clean exportable energy, low carbon gas products, and sustainable revenue for the agricultural sector. This study will identify the most viable commercial solutions and develop a design toolkit to optimise existing livestock farms and farms of the future.
