SEAN ALLEN RESEARCH
​
​
Thanks to Sean Allen for his recent independent research on carbon-neutral fertilizers. His research focused on replacing chemical fertiliser with anaerobic digestate as an alternative. Nutricore digestate achieves a remarkable 53% increase in grass growth compared to the conventional 10-10-20 fertilizer.
Sean Allen was awarded the Young Scientist of the Year in 2023, receiving the Senior Individual Award. His acclaimed project focused on investigating the long-term effects of a more sustainable method for retaining nutrients in the soil, serving as an alternative to artificially produced granules.

Research Results
Nutricore Digestate has the capacity to grow grass at an exponential rate
Earthworm activity in liquid digestate plots was 14.1% higher than any other treatment
20 tonnes of grass could produce enough biomethane to power a car around the world 1.5 times
Anaerobic Digestate grew 53% more grass than any other treatment
Carbon calculation shows that a particular dairy farm could save 122.87 tonnes of CO2 in a year if there was no use of chemcial fertiliser
