With the hope that biomethane becomes a common practice on farms across the country, the New Holland T6 paves the way for a green revolution in the Brazilian countryside, combining innovation, sustainability and efficiency in an exemplary way.
In the heart of Brasilândia, Mato Grosso do Sul, a green revolution is underway. The local property, in a masterstroke against the high prices of diesel, which recently reached around R$8 per liter, adopted an innovative and sustainable solution: biomethane. This fuel, produced on the farm itself at a cost of just R$1 per cubic meter, is the secret behind the New Holland T6 Metal Power, the first tractor in Brazil powered by biomethane. This one agricultural giant Not only does it represent a significant advance in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, but it also promises savings of R$100 per hour compared to diesel.
New Holland T6 engine
The New Holland T6 is not just another tractor. Its ability to operate with biomethane, a much more economical and less polluting fuel, highlights it as a milestone in the Brazilian agricultural industry. Available in 118 and 132 horsepower versions, the T6 is a medium-sized tractor known for its versatility, capable of carrying out a wide range of agricultural tasks efficiently and now with a significantly reduced environmental impact.
Biomethane
The biomethane used by T6 is produced from organic waste, such as sugarcane bagasse, fruit and manure, which would be naturally released into the atmosphere. This practice not only takes advantage of a resource that would otherwise be wasted, but also contributes to the reduction of gas emissions greenhouse effect, as methane is four times more harmful than CO2 when released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, the use of biomethane generates carbon credits, offering an additional financial advantage to rural producers.
Economy
The adoption of the biomethane New Holland T6 not only translates into environmental benefits, but also into direct savings for the producer. With a significantly lower operating cost compared to diesel, annual savings can reach R$260 per machine, in addition to avoiding the emission of 460 tons of CO2. These numbers not only justify the higher initial investment in T6 Metal Power, but also encourage the adoption of more sustainable and cost-effective agricultural practices.
Fazenda São Francisco's experience with New Holland T6 Metal Power is a testament to the potential of biomethane as a clean and economical fuel in agriculture. By becoming more independent from fossil fuels and reducing its carbon footprint, the property not only saves significantly on operational costs, but also contributes to a more sustainable future.
With the hope that biomethane becomes a common practice on farms across the country, the New Holland T6 paves the way for a green revolution in the Brazilian countryside, combining innovation, sustainability and efficiency in an exemplary way.
