How’d you like to eliminate your propane grain drying bill while opting for a green option at a fraction of the cost?
Mike Milligan, who farms about 4,500 acres with his father, Dave, in Michigan’s Cass City, is the first in the U.S. to install a Triple Green Products biomass heating system, and he’s put it to the test this past harvest.
Meet the climate entrepreneurs building solutions to future-proof Earth.
Last week a bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill that would make blends of ethanol up to 15% available year-round. The move was to create a federal standard for the higher use of ethanol versus letting each state make a move, which was worrisome to the petroleum industry.
Earlier the American Petroleum Industry joined ag-friendly voices to support such a member, a first for an organization that has not always been a friend of ethanol. The specter of state-by-state rules regarding ethanol blending is a potent incentive for federal action.
The Environmental Protection Agency today released the proposed Renewable Fuels Standard “Set” rule, which increases the amount of ethanol and biofuels oil refiners must blend into fuel for the next three years. The announcement also includes series of important modifications to strengthen and expand the RFS program.
The agency's long-awaited proposal outlines overall blending mandates of 20.82 billion gallons in 2023, 21.87 billion gallons in 2024, and 22.68 billion gallons in 2025.
The engines of agriculture are diesel, mostly, and gas. But is that what you’ll burn in the future? Recently, Agco launched the Core engine line designed as a future-proof approach for a business that in the next decade could see some big changes in fuel sources to power farm equipment.
But where is that science going? And what might it mean for you?
On Nov. 21, the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC) unveiled BioHome3D, the first 3D-printed house made entirely with bio-based materials. BioHome3D was developed with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hub and Spoke program between the UMaine and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Partners included MaineHousing and the Maine Technology Institute.
SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — Diplomats from nearly 200 countries concluded two weeks of climate talks Sunday by agreeing to establish a fund that would help poor, vulnerable countries cope with climate disasters made worse by the greenhouse gases from wealthy nations.
The decision on payments for loss and damage caused by global warming represented a breakthrough on one of the most contentious issues at United Nations climate negotiations. For more than three decades, developing nations have pressed rich, industrialized countries to provide compensation for the costs of destructive storms, heat waves and droughts linked to rising temperatures.
