English Bioreactor Project Launch
The Project encompasses the purchase and development of a farm in the South West of the UK, the building and operation of two bioreactors including pre-processing of multiple waste streams into multiple soil formats for everything from household plants to plantation commercial forestry. The farm allows for analyzing soil organic carbon, soil health and productivity, and crop production trials.
The goal is not only to prove that Bioreactor 2.0 is much improved from version 1.0 but also to prove the integrated waste-to-field commerce and the carbon capture outcomes.

The Primary Goal is to build, Operate, and Manage the bioreactors commercially in the UK.
Carbon Capture
Soil Organic Carbon Methodologies abound and yet only Australia allows the fixing of carbon into soils as a carbon compliance market carbon credit (CER or ACCU as the Australians acronize it) This is the most natural and effective carbon capture solution available and yet, it's not a mainstream consideration.... we aim to make it mainstream...
Farm Commerce
The project will further prove that optimized biological soils produce better, safer, and cheaper food, energy, and resources than industrial farming with chemicals.

The rice pictures show our organic rice roots (above) and compare our rice against our chemical neighbor below. Ours is on the left, the industrial-farmed neighbor is 1/5th of the size and costs at least 20% more.
About the Project
The Project is applying for EIS Assurance from the HMRC using SeedLegal as the professional advisor.
The project is positioned to receive donations, grants, government loans, and equity to raise the £5 million pounds called for in the business plan.
This round of capital is expected to be the only round required to realize the company's 3-year plan and into further expansion as most of the capital needed to build and place bioreactors is expected to come from equipment and trade finance sources.

R&D Analysis
Waste Management
The project will analyze the carbon, methane, cost, and environmental outcomes of repurposing multiple waste streams to confirm the effectiveness of the bioreactor and to enable further optimization.
Bioreactor
The Bioreactor processes and products will be analyzed to confirm the carbon capture, eradication of contaminants and the commercial outcomes from the bioreactor technology. There is scope for Microbial and Soil AI research and tech development.
Farm and Crop
There will be an analysis of the carbon capture, soil health, and crop-related improvements or declines as a result of the soil fertilizer applications. This will be cost-benefit analyzed with the intention of transferring the commercial benefits into farming at the appropriate time.
