RES4LIVE: CRMT transforms an agricultural tractor with Biomethane, a first in Europe and in the agricultural world !
THE CUSTOMER’S PROBLEM Renewable Energy Sources for LIVEstock Project (RES4LIVE) is a project that aims to achieve carbon neutrality on tomorrow's zero-emission farms.
CRMT’S SOLUTION The possibility of retrofitting existing diesel agricultural machines to bioNGV is now a real option for the agricultural world thanks to CRMT’s teams, who are working on the transformation of a small-power diesel tractor to BioNGV. To do this, mechanical and electrical modifications will be made on the engine, the fuel storage system will be integrated into the vehicle and the fuel system will be adapted according to R110 regulations before testing the performances of the new vehicle in real operating conditions.
WHAT’S MORE The retrofit of existing agricultural diesel machines is a unique circular economy opportunity for farmers, who wish to make the most of their methane production by using it as a fuel (biogas).
