Modular Vertical Farming in the UK
An Environmental and Economic Evaluation of Sustainable Food Production Using Renewable Energy Supply and Waste Heat Removal
Project Definition
“To determine whether using energy efficiency and renewable sources to offset energy demand of vertical farms increases their economic viability within the UK/Scotland”
Aims
1 /
Analyze the costs and energy demands of a modular vertical farm
2 /
Identify and assess potential changes to reduce cost, energy demand, and carbon footprint
Objectives
1
Create a working energy model of actual vertical farms
2
Calculate and compare the carbon footprint of traditional and vertical farms
3
Evaluate the impact of energy efficiency and renewable energy on VF’s
4
Create a tool to compare and calculate the associated costs of vertical farming
