The milk must be cooled and this heat energy can be recovered and used to preheat drinking water and tap water. Requires some more equipment and thus extra investment. For new milk tanks this is common equipment The temperature must be cooled down from 38°C to 3.5°C and this heat...

Diesel consumption on the farm comes from driving tractors or combine harvesters. It can also 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 it is possible to manage...

Extra meadow year in the rotation Renewal of meadow is an energy-intensive and expensive process. It is desirable to introduce other crops into the rotation before establishing a new meadow. Variation in the crop rotation provides many benefits for the soil and subsequent crops. If it is possible to postpone...

When we grow crops, 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 storing manure and to a small extent directly from the soil. Carbon dioxide...

Cows have four stomachs and chew their cud, and it is this characteristic that causes cattle to release methane. This is a natural process in nature that has nevertheless become a challenge for today's society. When ruminants digest their feed, methane gas (CH4) is released from the intestine (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 consider the origin of the electricity used and...
