Should small-scale, low-emission gas fuels be part of future farm planning as we move away from red diesel? Last week, we hosted over 60 attendees at Askham Bryan College to discuss the role of biomethane and hydrogen in farming’s low-carbon future.   Thank you to everyone who made this event possible whether by speaking, demonstrating technologies or providing all the behind-the-scenes support that made it happen.
