    Dairy methane emissions: from threat to opportunity A very interesting study published today and carried out by carried out by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and International Fugitive Emissions Abatement Association (IFEAA) discovered that methane emissions from slurry stores on dairy farms could be five times higher than official statistics suggest. Prof Penny Atkins, IFEAA CEO, said: "The cumulative contribution of methane from dairy farm manure management is significant and this data shows we must act now to curb emissions."

    IFEAA, alongside Neil Ward of UEA, has released a new report examining methane emissions from manure management based on new data from two Cornish dairy farms. ❌ The bad news is that methane emissions from manure could be significantly higher than we thought. ✔️ The better news is that commercial technologies are already available to capture slurry lagoon methane, which can then be used to fuel vehicles or generate electricity, providing benefits for the climate and the economy.

    Great news to hear IFEAA Chair and former Secretary of State for the environment, George Eustice, inform us all, both on the understatement of methane emissions from slurry, and that there are immediate true environmental and economical solutions. Bennamann is one of them! We claim livestock is not a threat, it has become a solution

    The World Ayrshire Federation UK 2024 Conference will host 200 Ayrshire breeders and enthusiasts from all over the world. As part of the southwest leg of their tour, the conference is due to visit Trenerry Farm, home to  the Christophers family and the award-winning Rosehill Ayrshire’s, pride of David Christophers. Trenerry is one of the first farm's to adopt the Bennamann gas capture and methane upgrading technology as part of the 6 farm pilot project with Cornwall Council and continues to be one of the biggest champions of our solution. David has reported significant savings in his chemical fertiliser requirements, and a big reduction in his spreading schedule with increased storage capacity in his lagoon. Thanks to the quality of the 100% natural digestate produced as part of the Bennamann process, the health, quality and regeneration of the soil and grass has enabled the Rosehill Aryshire herd to enjoy a better cud – completing the circular economy in which the Bennamann system works. The Biomethane is upgraded on farm and collected by Bennamann and then sold, creating an additional revenue for the farmer. Trenerry Farm is another Bennamann farm which is on the way to becoming Net Zero in terms of CO2 emissions. We are looking forward to meeting the delegates during their visit on Tuesday 2nd July and our expert team will be on to hand to explain how it works in converting cow slurry into clean, useable biomethane on farm.

    Yesterday CEMA had a fruitful day in Rome, at the FAO Headquarters, and agricultural machinery experts had a chance to have in-depth exchanges with FAO representatives. With almost 800 million people worldwide lacking access to enough food, and even more lacking access to a balanced and healthy diet, the cooperation between agricultural machinery manufacturers and FAO on how to advance sustainable agricultural mechanization is ever more relevant. Beth Bechdol, Deputy Director-General at FAO, thanked CEMA for its leadership, and invited it to engage in concrete projects to advance the take up of the mechanization of African agriculture. In the morning, during a session dedicated to Sustainable farm power for enhanced productivity, ivo hostens presented CEMA’s position paper on alternative fuels, and Gilles Mayers outlined Bennamann Ltd’s and CNH’s biomethane concept. Josef Kienzle from FAO gave an overview of the current agricultural power sources in different regions in which FAO is active, underlining the peculiar situation Africa and the various challenges it faces when it comes to energy supply and the relevant mechanization. In the afternoon, during the FAO-CEMA consultation on Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization and Digitalization, Malavolti Alessandro presented the reality of farm mechanization in Africa, and outlined possible lines of action to overcome the lack of farm machinery. He also thanked Beth Bechdol and FAO for organizing and expressed a willingness with the other company representatives to work on concrete projects to speed up the mechanization of African agriculture to end famine. CEMA would like to once again its participating experts for their contribution: Malavolti Alessandro (AMA Spa and CEMA Vice-President), Marzio Devalle (Lely), Vincent deLassagne (CNH), Gilles Mayer (Bennamann Ltd), Klaus-Herbert Rolf (CLAAS), Giulia Catini (CNH). ivo hostens and Jelte Wiersma (CEMA).

    Excellent. Merci Nicolas et Terre TV! En capturant le méthane naturel des effluents et en le détruisant en créant de l’énergie, l’exploitation s’affranchit progressivement des charges aléatoires de l’énergie carbonée et réduit ses coûts et son emprunte carbone en même temps. L’élevage n’est plus une cause de réchauffement climatique comme certains le décrient mais devient une solution. Nous avons en Angleterre les premières exploitations à emprunte CO2 négatives, qui régénèrent leurs sols et réduisent leurs coûts opérationnels.

    👨🌾 BioGNV à la ferme : l’avenir de l’agriculture ? 🚜 New Holland propose d’exploiter le méthane des exploitations pour alimenter ses tracteurs BioGNV. 🌱 Le constructeur et Bennamann ont développé une micro-méthanisation pour capturer le méthane du lisier et le transformer en biogaz. Grâce à cette technologie, le méthane est épuré, retraité et compressé pour alimenter un groupe électrogène ou des véhicules roulant au gaz. 💡 Cette solution a été pensée pour alimenter les tracteurs New Holland Methane Power directement à la ferme. 🇬🇧 Plusieurs fermes en Angleterre utilisent cette innovation. Pour les éleveurs, le système est simple à utiliser, permet des économies d’énergie, et aide à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre sur l’exploitation. ♻ Bennamann a également conçu un épurateur mobile pouvant se déplacer de ferme en ferme. En réduisant les coûts de l’énergie et en convertissant une source de pollution en biogaz, cette innovation aide les fermes à réussir leur transition. 🇪🇺 Bennamann et New Holland cherchent à étendre cette technologie ailleurs en Europe, notamment en France. 🎙 Nicolas Morel, Responsable produit chez New Holland, s'est exprimé sur cette innovation au micro de Terre tv lors du Salon de l'Agriculture 2024. Merci à Bennamann pour les illustrations complémentaires ! #agriculture #biognv #biogaz #methanisation CNH Industrial GRDF
