ECO-I North West - Opening up the expertise, equipment and resource of the region’s leading universities

Company Profile Silverwoods Waste Management has successfully repurposed industrial waste products as beneficial agricultural soil amendments. Industrial waste spreading on agricultural land, such as cement bypass dust, provides fertilising capabilities as well as pH neutralising values which enhances soil quality and provides a more sustainable alternative to other popular fertilisers. Silverwoods currently provides waste products to multiple farms across the UK. The Project With the UK’s aim to reach net zero emissions by 2050, there is a need to establish negative emission solutions. Focusing on one of Silverwoods Waste Management’s main products, this research project aims to understand the full carbon sequestration potential of cement bypass dust when applied to agricultural soils. Capturing atmospheric carbon within soils and enabling its long- term storage is achieved through a mixture of biogeochemical mechanisms. This includes the enhanced weathering of the cement bypass dust, enabling reactions that fixes inorganic carbon into the soil. It also acts as a fertilising agent, providing key nutrients for crops to increase crop yield and acting as a method of biogenic carbon capture. Mollie Frost Mollie started her research project with Silverwoods after graduating with a Geography BSc from Swansea University. Following on from her previous research project, focusing on soil carbon and plant interactions, she took an interest in soil carbon dynamics and is now applying this to her current research.
