Created the world’s first tractor that runs on manure

Experts believe that the eco-tractor can be a game changer in the efficient energy supply of farms.

In Britain, they created the world’s first tractor that runs on manure. It is believed that the new technology will help in the fight against climate change, writes the Daily Mail.

The manufacturer is the Bennamann company from Cornwall. The tractor is not inferior in performance to diesel competitors.

It is known that this company has been engaged in research and development in the field of biomethane production for more than 10 years.

The 270 horsepower New Holland T7 Methane Power LNG tractor runs on liquid methane only.

“In fact, the fuel is provided by collecting the by-products of the life of a herd of only 100 cows. Also, a biomethane storage facility needs to be built on the farm – after that, the gas, known as volatile methane , is processed, compressed and transformed into low-emission fuel. a cryogenic tank that keeps methane in liquid form – it requires a temperature of -162 degrees. As a result, the tractor receives the same power, but with significant emission savings,” said the creators.

As you know, methane evaporates from the Earth’s atmosphere faster than carbon dioxide, but it also has 80 times the ability to warm the atmosphere than carbon in 20 years. In this regard, it is believed that by removing and using methane for good, it will have a positive effect on global warming.

Recall that an electric car Zeekr 001 appeared in the world with a record power reserve of more than 1000 km.
