- •3 point hutch for standard agricultural tools connected to mechanical PTO, with full tractor functionality
- •Can reduce 900.000kg CO2 over the life span of 20 years, using 50m3 of biomethane/day instead of 50l of diesel/gasoline/day
- •Scores with lower CO2, soot and NOx emissions, which makes him a perfect tool for city waste and maintenance purposes
- •Encourages farmer to join the circular business model of biomethane mobility
The Financial Benefits
