Transformational change using Zero Carbon fertilisers

CCm Technologies的目标是利用其碳捕获利用技术来解决清洁增长战略中的两项关键政策，确保英国到2050年不会对全球温室气体排放做出贡献；1 \。**工业效率**：通过发展碳捕获、利用和储存技术来脱碳和提高废物处理效率2\。**自然资源：利用废弃资源生产零碳肥料，减少农业排放，利用英国土壤永久固碳。在第一阶段，CCm将研究从泰晤士河水热解处理过程中回收的生物炭材料，作为一系列碳封存、氮、磷、钾（N-P-K）、零碳肥料的核心原料，适用于农业和园艺作物。第一阶段将与Velcourt农场合作，确认第二阶段的作物和田间试验参数，使用第一阶段研究的已确认的生物炭配方。最后，第一阶段将与行业“碳去除”专家Puro确认减排计划。这些试验计划将评估第二阶段减排研究所需的界限和基线。第二阶段将在泰晤士水处理场安装一个大型原型碳捕获利用系统。原型装置将扩大第一阶段零碳肥料研究的生产，为肥料田间试验提供材料。还将进行一项减排研究（LCA），以证明CCm技术在工业环境中的碳捕获利用与封存（CCUS）过程的碳去除潜力。碳固存方法的开发提高了CCm现有CCU工艺的商业价值。COVID-19意味着CCm与其废物和农业领域的目标客户一起启动新项目的能力大大放缓，影响了未来的商业发展。这个第一和第二阶段的项目将允许外部验证和整合CCm碳捕获利用技术在新的部门。在获得更多信心之前，行业预算“暂停”，该项目将为加速该示范项目提供适当的支持。

CCm Technologies aims to utilise it's Carbon Capture Utilisation technology to address 2 key policies in the Clean Growth Strategy, ensuring the UK does not contribute to global GHG emissions by 2050; 1\.**Industry efficiency**: De-carbonising and increasing efficiency of waste processes through development of carbon capture utilisation and storage technology 2\.**Natural Resources**: utilise waste resources for production of zero carbon fertilisers, reducing agricultural emissions and utilising UK soils for permanent carbon sequestration. In Phase 1, CCm will investigate using recovered biochar material from Thames Water Pyrolysis treatment process, as the core feedstock for a range of carbon sequestering, Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium (N-P-K), Zero Carbon fertilisers, suitable for agricultural and horticultural crops. Phase 1 will work with Velcourt farming to confirm phase 2 crop and field trial parameters, using confirmed biochar formulations investigated in Phase 1\. Finally, phase 1 will confirm emissions reduction plans with industry 'carbon removal' expert, Puro. These trial plans will assess the boundaries and baseline required for an emissions reduction study in Phase 2\. Phase 2 will see installation of a large scale protype, carbon capture utilisation system at a Thames Water treatment site. Prototype installation will scale up production of phase 1 Zero Carbon fertiliser investigations, to provide material for fertiliser field trials. An emissions reduction study (LCA) will also take place to certify the carbon removal potential of CCm Technologies, Carbon Capture Utilisation &Storage (CCUS) process in an industrial environment. Development of a carbon sequestration method enhances the commercial value for CCm's existing CCU process. COVID-19 has meant CCm's ability to start new projects with it's target customers in the waste and agricultural sector has been significantly slowed, impacting future commercial development. This Phase 1 & 2 project would allow external validation and integration of CCm carbon capture utilisation technology in new sectors. Industry budgets are 'on pause' until more confidence is available, this project would provide suitable support to accelerate this showcase project.
