Renewable diesel on tractor

For a year, farmers at Innherred have run their tractors on renewable diesel. They have participated in a field test of renewable diesel. The farmers' experiences together with motor oil samples have been an important part of the project "Clean renewable diesel in agriculture". The project's owner is Ruralis, which together with Høgskolen Innlandet, Mære landbrukskole, Norsk Landbruksrådgiving, Felleskjøpet, Eik chain and others have participated in the project. In the video, you will hear about the farmers' experiences from the field test. You can also see how it went when Gisle from Mære agricultural school had to cold start a tractor with renewable diesel in the tank in January 2019.

At Ruralis, you can read more about the results of the project.
