Thank you for taking time to read this.

Who am I and what is the purpose of this project?
I am William Crewe-Turrell, a current post graduate at UCEM studying a masters in Building Surveying whilst also working at AMZCO as lead design engineer and head of all SSAD projects. This research I am doing is forming part of my dissertation as well as valuable insight for my job.

My research aim is to assesses the environmental and economic feasibility of modular anaerobic digestion systems on small-scale rural farms in Europe, also aiming to evaluate their potential contribution to BioGas production and addressing the region's energy challenges.

What will happen to the results of the research study?
The dissertation will be marked and assessed by UCEM and after 3 months post results all data collected as part of this research will be disposed of in line with GDPR.

What do I need?
You will be asked questions surrounding your farms type, energy, heat, fuels so it would be advised to have things such as bills and commercial data readily accessible when filling out the form.

Do I have to take part?
Your participation in the research is completely voluntary and you are well within your liberty to withdraw at any time without prejudice or negative consequences.

What do I have to do?
Participants will be given a questionnaire to fill out on the topic of SSAD and further context of my research.
Completing any questionnaires may take around 10-20 minutes per form.
Your participation in these activities will contribute valuable insights to the research aimed at evaluating the potential economic and environmental viability for BioGas production on small-scale rural farms across Europe.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to taking part?
Participation in the project offers potential advantages such as contributing to research and sustainable energy, but it also poses risks like time commitments and technical challenges for those considering involvement.
