Driving a profitable and respectful agri-food future

ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Discover how renewable energy generation, energy efficiency, and sustainable practices can reduce costs, minimize environmental impact, and increase the resilience of your business.

Solutions for the energy transition and integral sustainability

Energy and sustainability are fundamental pillars for the competitiveness and future viability of the agri-food sector. This vertical explores the technologies and strategies that allow you to produce your own clean energy, optimize consumption in each process, reduce your environmental footprint, and adopt more circular and resilient business models.

Renewable energies integrated into the agro sector

Generate your own clean energy and reduce your external dependence. Discover solar photovoltaic self-consumption solutions adapted to farms (warehouses, pumping), biogas plants to valorize slurry and organic waste, biomass utilization, and other applicable renewable sources.

Energy efficiency in processes and machinery

Reduce your consumption without sacrificing productivity. Explore low-consumption agricultural machinery, energy optimization in irrigation systems, efficient climate control for livestock sheds and greenhouses, LED lighting, variable frequency drives, and energy audits to identify points for improvement.

Reduction of emissions and carbon footprint

Measure, reduce, and communicate your environmental impact. Learn about technologies and practices to minimize Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, slurry management, optimized fertilization, tools to calculate your carbon footprint, and carbon farming strategies to capture CO2 in the soil.

Sustainable mobility on the farm

Move your business with clean energy. Discover the growing offer of electric vehicles (tractors, vans, quads) and alternative fuels (biomethane, HVO) adapted to the needs of the agri-food sector.

Sustainable management and certifications

Demonstrate your commitment and access new markets. Explore software and tools for monitoring sustainability indicators, learn about the main environmental standards and certifications (Global G.A.P., Organic Production, ISO 14001, Water/Carbon Footprint) and how to implement them.
