Beyond Biodiesel –
Running on Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO)
The green tree has many branches.
In the
search for new fuels that will make our farms
greener and less dependent on petroleum derivatives, several solutions are being investigated.
For example, New Holland has been at the
forefront in the development and promotion of
biodiesel for nearly two decades.
Technologies based on the use of hydrogen
and fuel cells are also being developed as clean
alternatives to traditional fossil fuels to address
climate change and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
The revolutionary prototype New
Holland T6000 Series NH2, with hydrogen
fuel cells generating the current to drive electric
motors and power the tractor, has recently
received awards and publicity.
Less well known is New Holland’s involvement in producing alternative fuel from biomass, a promising fuel source for the future.
Another fuel alternative was recently reported on by Lori Burkholder of WGAL-TV in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
