In this Q&A, Richard Gueterbock delves into decarbonisation of heat, the benefits of farm-scale AD and some farm energy use efficiency tips. It's an interesting read for anyone exploring options for farm energy production and use as we transition towards net zero emissions 👇

Each new V-FAST vertical farm is designed to deliver high-quality, fresh food at a lower cost compared to traditional indoor farms using grid energy. The consortium's partners are exploring innovative projects that combine vertical farming with renewable energy generation and High-Density Hydro® energy storage. Together, we're setting the stage for a more sustainable and efficient future in food production! 💡  #VFAST #VerticalFarming #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture

There's a lot of debate about solar farms 'taking farmland out of production.' This is a misleading perception - if we think about where we put infrastructure then land can have more than one use at the same time. In northern Germany, Vattenfall is proving that farmland can produce both food and clean energy. As one of the largest Agri-PV projects in Europe to date, it integrates solar panels with agriculture, boosting renewable energy production while preserving farmland for crops and livestock.

We're excited to share part two of our educational series , "The Power of Agrivoltaics: Combining Agriculture & Solar." This month, we're looking at the remarkable benefit of land utilization efficiency. Agrivoltaics seamlessly integrates agricultural production with renewable energy generation, allowing for the dual use of land that traditionally would serve only one purpose. This innovative approach not only optimizes land use but also enhances food production while generating clean energy. By adopting agrivoltaics, we can revolutionize sustainable farming practices and drive impactful environmental change.

We're proud to highlight our Black Cat Solar & Storage Agrivoltaics project, in partnership with Greenbacker and Sol Rebel . This initiative perfectly marries renewable energy with agriculture, featuring solar panels elevated ten feet above the ground, allowing for the uninterrupted cultivation of cranberries below. This 1 MW DC project sets a remarkable example of maximizing land use efficiently without hindering existing farming operations. Our team at DEI is committed to preserving agricultural productivity while deploying solar technology, ensuring that farm activities carry on seamlessly. The Black Cat Project is a testament to innovative resource management, promoting environmental sustainability alongside agricultural advancement. #DistrbutedEnergyInfrastructure #SolarEPC #Agrivoltaics #CleanEnergy #SolarPower

Harnessing Renewable Energy for Sustainable Farming 🌱 🚜 Check out our latest article on the HarvRESt project, which explores how Renewable Energy Sources (RES) can transform farming practices across Europe while enhancing farm decarbonization. Our research combined desk studies, surveys and interviews to understand the barriers and drivers of RES adoption among farmers. 📊 Key findings highlight the importance of education, financial support and regulatory frameworks in promoting sustainable practices. 🔍 🔗 Read the full article to discover how we're advancing a sustainable future in agriculture through innovative renewable energy solutions: https://lnkd.in/dU77Rqbw #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFarming #EnergyTransition

Clean Fuels CEO Donnell Rehagen discusses recent policy updates in California with Mike Pearson on Farm Progress' This Week in Agribusiness. Since the #LCFS was adopted in 2009, California has used increasing amounts of biomass-based diesel to lower emissions and lessen reliance on fossil fuels. Today, #biodiesel and #renewablediesel account for over 75% of the state’s diesel pool. We are committed to ensuring crop-based renewable fuels continue to be recognized as a long-term solution in California. #BetterCleanerNow
