Press Release – Summer 2025
Land Energy partners Re-Genus and launches sustainable fertiliser
- New Newark plant launches large-scale production of natural, fungi-rich fertiliser
- £1.7bn synthetic fertiliser industry faces disruption with low-carbon, UK-grown alternative
- Re-Genus Natural Fertiliser saves up to 99% CO₂ and is approved for organic farming
Land Energy is at the forefront of a major step towards greener agriculture, partnering natural fertiliser pioneer Re-Genus by launching large-scale UK production of regenerative, fungi-rich fertiliser. 2025 marks the opening of our new pelleting plant in Newark – a key milestone in reshaping how the UK sources and applies fertiliser.
This new production facility will allow Land Energy-made Re-Genus natural fertiliser to be delivered at scale – with the aim of displacing over 60,000 tonnes pa of synthetic fertiliser within three years. That’s equivalent to cutting 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually – a 5-tonne saving per tonne applied.
Low-carbon, high-impact: the next generation of UK fertiliser
The collaboration builds on a year of joint R&D between Land Energy and Re-Genus to create a high-performing pellet that preserves the essential fungi used to restore soil microbiome, while being compatible with standard farm machinery. The result: a one-stop natural fertiliser that farmers can spread using drills, spreaders – even drones.
At the heart of this breakthrough is our deep commitment to sustainability. Together with Re-Genus, we have developed a unique formula using timber residue to bind and structure the fertiliser pellets. These sustainable inputs are key to keeping the carbon footprint of the final product exceptionally low.
Scaling up for soil regeneration
The timing couldn’t be more important. With climate change and soil degradation threatening future yields, demand is growing fast for local, sustainable alternatives. Re-Genus fertilisers meet these needs with living fungal ‘starters’ and natural nutrition that restore the soil’s ability to self-sustain – reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen.
Land Energy’s pelleting plant will reach full capacity in the summer of 2025, setting the stage for wide availability of this ultra-low-carbon fertiliser.
“It’s a perfect time to scale up a home-grown fertiliser solution,” said Re-Genus Co-CEO Daniel Iddon. “With rising concerns about climate, food security, and import taxes on high-carbon goods, British farmers need reliable, sustainable alternatives – and this is it.”
