Diesel consumption on the farm comes from driving tractors or combines. In addition, it can be used for heating, but we are not looking at that here. Biodiesel is an alternative, but the price has so far been too high. Economical driving Several tests have shown that you can manage...

Extra meadows in the cycle Renewal of meadows is an energy-intensive and expensive process. It is desirable to bring in other cultures on the shift before a new meadow is established. Variation in the growth cycle provides many benefits for the soil and subsequent crops. If it is possible to postpone...

When we do crop production, we will lose some nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrous oxide is formed in the soil when it is wet and the soil contains a lot of nitrogen. Methane is released when manure is stored and to a small extent directly from the soil. Carbon Dioxide...

The cow has four stomachs and chews cud, and it is this characteristic that causes cattle to emit methane. This is a natural process in nature that has nevertheless become a challenge for today's society. When ruminants digest the feed, methane gas (CH4) is released from the gut (in...

The electric boiler will heat water or air directly with electrical energy, the utilization of the energy is good and can be a simple and good measure if we want to replace fossil heat sources. The climate effect depends a lot on how we assess the origin of the electricity used and...

Heat pumps can obtain energy from various energy sources; outdoor air, seawater, waste water, boreholes, cooling of milk, warehouses and buildings. The energy sources do not need to have a high temperature as the heat transfer occurs by evaporation and condensation in the refrigerant in a closed circuit in...
