Go4Bio-Energy

Energy is a major topic of discussion in the agricultural sector. Liberalisation of the gas market, long-term agreements for energy savings, “green” housing for animals, the “greenhouse of the future”, new technologies…. Farmers and growers are becoming increasingly involved in generating sustainable energy by means of biomass, or by harnessing the power of the wind.

Criticism

The main criticism levelled at greenhouse horticulture concerns the amount of energy it consumes and emissions of pesticides/herbicides, excess heat, carbon dioxide, fertilisers, and light. In order to retain a licence to produce, greenhouse horticulture must make a sustained effort to reduce these emissions.

The Solution

Because supplies of fossil fuels will eventually be exhausted, it is important that we already invest in renewable sources of fuel and energy. Go 4 Agri can act as a highly experienced guide in this complex field. We will work with you every step of the way to find ideal, tailor-made solutions. Every project involves analysing the specific local circumstances. The results of that analysis help decide on how to produce energy. This provides the ideal result in the context of what is possible locally.

Using waste biomass to produce energy can reduce the use of fossil fuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce pollution and waste management problems. A recent publication by the European Union highlighted the potential for waste-derived bio energy to contribute to the reduction of global warming.
