July 11, 2023. World leader in clean energy, New Holland Agriculture announces a partnership with leading companies in the biomethane sector in Brazil for the creation of an innovative ecosystem for the production of gas, generated from the decomposition of organic waste. The new ecosystem is the first of its kind in the country and promises to revolutionize its biogas market.
The launch of this unprecedented solution in the Brazilian biomethane market is the result of a successful collaboration between New Holland, Iveco Group, Sebigás Cótica – a company specialized in the development of biodigestion solutions, from project design, construction, maintenance and operation of biogas facilities – and Air Liquide – a world leader in industrial gases, technology and services for industry and healthcare.
Similarly to what New Holland Agriculture is doing in Europe with the British company Bennamann, the initiative aims to explore the possibilities of biomethane production from livestock waste and at the same time to promote the use of renewable energies for agriculture in the country.
The arrival of this technology follows the sale of the first tractor unit powered by biomethane gas in Brazil: a T6.180 Methane Power, which can use the gas generated from the decomposition of organic waste as fuel, was sold to SF Agropecuária, a company based in Brasilândia, Mato Grosso do Sul.
The property selected to be part of the experimental biomethane project is that same farm, pioneering in the use of waste to create energy.
