Abstract

This report provides a view on 2 China–UK Sustainable Agriculture Innovation Network (SAIN) proposals. It looks at where the proposals fit within the current discussions on innovative energy technology that may benefit developing countries and the potential costs/benefits including low carbon benefits. The proposals are:

  1. Integrating biogas into circular agriculture: tools, analysis and policy implications; and

  2. Life cycle assessment of biochar production systems based on pyrolysis and gasification technologies.
