New Holland, in collaboration with Bennamann, a UK-based biomethane technology company, is spearheading the development of sustainable energy solutions for livestock farmers. Bennamann's Smartcover solution, set over manure slurry pits, captures fugitive emissions like hydrogen sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide. These gases are processed to produce biomethane—compressed natural gas that can power farm machinery or be sold. By utilizing this technology, farmers can not only become energy independent but also reduce their operational costs significantly. The innovative Smartcover technology enhances the nutrient value of the digestant byproduct, leading to a potential reduction of over 50% in chemical fertilizer use. Bennamann's aim is to create autonomous, sustainable energy farms where smaller operations can power their machinery with the produced CNG, while larger farms have the option to sell excess gas to the grid. This initiative contributes to reducing methane emissions by nearly 90%, thereby lowering the farm's carbon footprint. With a focus on methane capture, Bennamann addresses the pressing issue of methane emissions, which have a substantial impact on global warming. Methane, though shorter-lived in the atmosphere than CO2, is more effective at trapping radiation. By utilizing biomethane technology, farms could significantly reduce their methane emissions, contributing to global efforts to limit global warming. This sustainable solution not only benefits individual farms but also plays a crucial role in combating climate change and promoting environmental sustainability.
