The Agri-Energy programme brings together specialist equipment and interdisciplinary expertise from across the University to develop and test new forms of agri-energy systems.  

Net Zero Agriculture Living Lab 

Following significant investment, we are developing the 巨乳视频 Research Farm as a unique living lab facility for the development of net zero farm energy systems. Operating commercially, the smart farm incorporates digital instrumentation and sensors to enable a ‘whole systems’ approach to agricultural and livestock research.  

It is home to:

• the Terrestrial Observatory, a £3 million suite of instrumentation and research tools
• Smart Agri-Systems programme, designed to provide insights into farming practice
• the National Pig Centre, part of the UK-wide .

Bioenergy and nutrient recovery from organic waste 

Our research schools provide technical services and laboratory equipment to model and analyse bioenergy systems. 

The offers access to a wide range of specialist . These include public health engineering laboratories with separate areas for water and wastewater, experimental rigs, a Class II microbiology lab and clean laboratory for molecular biology work, and the .

Our services include the following: 

• physical, chemical and microbiological characterisation of wastewater, sludge, digestate, manures and feedstocks for anaerobic digestion, through a range of techniques including gas and ion chromatography, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy, and a Hach AP3900 Robotic Analyser for the automated analysis of liquid and (digested) solid samples
• anaerobic biodegradability tests to assess the biohydrogen and biomethane potential of organic wastes and feedstocks
• molecular microbiology-based techniques to detect and characterise microbial populations in environmental samples (soils) and engineered systems (AD facilities)
• lab- and bench-scale for anaerobic biodegradability trials and experimental process optimisation. 

The offers expertise and facilities in both experimental modelling systems and life-cycle analysis of biowastes, including: 

• experimental testing of hydrothermal conversion
• anaerobic digestion of process waters and slurries
• process simulation and modelling
• gasification
• processing biowastes by pyrolysis
• characterisation and testing of product streams
• analytical facilities to study the safety and environmental impact of materials
• life-cycle analysis of greenhouse gas emissions from waste and the impact of processes on the environment. 

Smart energy systems 

Working with the  extensive facilities and purpose-built laboratories, we can prototype and test resilient agri-energy systems for the future. Experimental facilities include: 

• solar power laboratory
• electromechanical test rigs with various transducers
• smart Grid Laboratory with Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop and microgrid prototyping
• smart energy systems and energy storage laboratory
• hardware platforms to model, analyse and control the design of next-generational power systems.
