THE CZERO ORGANIC BIOGAS PLATFORM
The CZERO renewable energy solution provides a combination of distinctive technologies and
processes which deliver sustainable commercial and strategic advantages to new and existing
infrastructure and development opportunities.
In summary, CZERO employs ‘Dry Phase Batch’ and ‘Wet AD’ Anaerobic Digestion (AD) to produce
biogas by harnessing the natural decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The
biogas can be used as a renewable energy source to produce Biomethane (BtG) electricity, heat
and organic compost / fertiliser.
This sustainable and renewable energy supply is of significant influence in the promotion of new and
existing community redevelopment projects. ZERO enables local planning authority
requirements for renewable energy in new development to be met or exceeded by a genuinely
renewable and holistic energy process. There are commercially competitive advantages to be derived
from the inclusion of a CZERO facility within a strategic development. Primarily it will
attract new tenants seeking association with the renewable energy source and provide the landlord and
tenants with a secure, renewable, stable and discounted energy.

AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
CZERO will generate organic, renewable and holistic biogas and or power and heat throughout the UK..
It will contribute significant micro-generation of energy on demand for local industry and residential,
mixed use development. It will provide new employment in the rural economy and produce a unique
peat replacement in the form of organic fertiliser as a major co-product to support food production.
The CZERO Organic BtG Platform provides a renewable energy facility delivering biogas and or heat
and electricity alongside its users in a business or domestic setting. The facility uses Dry Phase Batch
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and EUCO AD technology to produce methane which can be converted to
Biomethane for direct injection into the Grid, it can also be used to power CHP units which in turn
generate electricity. The process produces heat and organic liquid digestate and fertiliser as its main
co-products. The CZERO process is waste free (but can be used for municipal or commercial organic
waste material in conjunction with Bio-crops as its resource (feedstock)). However,theresourceis
predominantly from marginalgrasslandandcerealcropsusedsustainablyinrotationorasabreak crop inresponsible

DEVELOP construct and operate efficient, 5MW organic biogas projects throughout the UK.
IDENTIFY new and existing commercial, residential industrial energy consumers, such as offices, factories,
hospitals, public buildings and specifically business parks, housing (local communities) data centres and
supermarkets to generate heat and power for localised consumption. The application of the CZERO
Platform to communities provides resilience and sustainability.
CREATE partnerships with landowners, developers and ‘end’ users’ (consumers) including manufacturers
and local communities who require an innovative and sustainable solution for their energy needs.

AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION – THE DISTINCT BENEFITS
RENEWABLE ECONOMIC DELIVERY This renewable energy solution provides both the private and
commercial end user with efficient, affordable and sustainable energy.
CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY The facility is designed to generate e i t h e r B io m e t h a n e f o r d ir e c t g r i d
i n j e c t i o n o r d ir e c t b i o g a s s u p p l y t o g e n e r a t e heat and power to demand on a continuous
basis which is not possible with other renewable energy generation systems. The platform can be properly
described as a renewable and sustainable power station.
PRICE STABILITY AND PREDICTIABILITY The efficiency of local delivery of the energy enables transmission
cost savings which can be passed onto the end user in the form of long term supply agreements at a fixed
and advantageous pricing structure.
MEASUREABLE CARBON FOOTPRINT The energy produced and consumed has a fully calculated carbon footprint
which significantly offsets fossil carbon consumption and emissions
CARBON OFFSETTING The measured carbon footprint enables accurate carbon accounting to contribute to measured
offset creation which when produced in a qualifying location. These offsets are of the highest quality and will qualify
for Gold Standard on the voluntary carbon market.
THE CZERO MODEL will be enhanced by producing an organic fertiliser which will become a direct replacement for peat,
which is to be phased out of use in the UK and Europe by 2020. The use of heat, organic fertiliser and Bioliquor are
associated ventures which will be supported by joint venture partners to develop the Horticulture and Aquaculture
markets

AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION – HOW THE SOLUTION IS DELIVERED
The first CZERO facility is being built in Blackmore Park Malvern and has full detailed planning permission with
an additional ten projects in various stages of contract and planning, a further thirty sites have been
identified and are in negotiation.
The CZERO Blackmore Park facility is a 35,000 tonne model on a site of 2.65 acres to accommodate an enclosed
complex of approximately 60,000 sq ft and an enclosed compound of 25,000 sq ft. The facility is to be extended to a
50,000 tonne facility which will require a further 1 acre and an additional complex of 10,000 sq ft. In some
locations existing buildings – including some older industrial buildings - can be retrofitted. An adequate grid
connection is required to allow for export, resilience and redundancy backup.
SECURE RESOURCE The feedstock is delivered through a subsidiary farming entity called an Organic Resource
Partnership which manages an individual or co-operative of farmers in a unique share farming agreement with a
share in the financial success of the facility. CZERO’s organic biogas process is distinct from other anaerobic
digestion technologies in that i t does not use waste but only processes organic material and designated crops.
THE RESOURCE is identified and evaluated in the UK by Savills with the support of the Farming & Wildlife
Advisory Group (FWAG), Natural England and the Environment Agency. This is done in conjunction with
conservation and stewardship programs to support and maintain the biodiversity associated with the
feedstock.
PROVEN TECHNOLOGY Our technology providers are Jones Celtic BioEnergy who are licensees for
Schmack Carbotech (companies of the Veissmann Group) who are world leaders
in the delivery of Anaerobic Digestion and Biomethane upgrading through PSA technology. Advice and operational
support from Jones Celtic BioEnergy, Savills and Capita Symonds delivered through a Framework Agreement provides the support
and expertise to deliver BtG and the localised generation of combined heat and power on a scalable nationwide basis.
The design, implementation and day to day management and operational training is supported by
Jones Celtic BioEnergy, Schmack Carbotech. Resource (feedstock) identification, assembly and delivery are to be
provided by Savills. Development Management, Project Management, Facility Management and a Carbon Audit is to
be provided by Capita Symonds.
THE LESSONS The delivery framework process provides a successful demonstration of how this technology can
be successfully applied to developments and operation in other countries throughout the World. Over 50 facilities
using these technologies have been deployed and proven around the world.

The CZERO model will be enhanced by operating sustainable joint ventures in the production of Horticulture and
Aquaculture to a unique sustainable organic standard
THE CZERO Organic Biogas Platform is conceived to provide micro generation to local users and to
provide a viable reinforcement of the national and local grid infrastructure.
THE FACILITIES and the process are ‘scalable’
THE OUTPUT of a standard model - 35k tonnes per annum - facility would typically generating
10,080MWh with a generating capacity of 1.68MW of electricity and 2.24MWof heat or 35,356MWh of
Biomethane for direct grid injection (BtG). The 50K t facility provides twice the output of 2.2MW of
electricity and 3.2 MW of heat or 50,509 MWh of Biomethane (BtG) and delivers exceedingly robust
economies of scale.
This would, for example, serve at least 2,000 average dwellings or 50,000 sq m of employment floor
space (subject to the occupational use). In addition each plant will create 136,000t carbon dioxide
emission savings per annum. The 50,000 tonne facility provides twice the output but delivers
exceedingly robust economies of scale.
CZERO can provide a turnkey facility to deliver renewable heat and power on a secure and stable
long term contractual basis, either in partnership or as a contracted supplier of energy to
governmental departments, institutional landlords of business parks, individual industrial /
commercial consumers, residential developers and or local communities.
