Abstract:
Modern plant oil compatible tractors with emission control systems show high technical maturity. Limited exhaust gas components, as there are nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particle matter, determined at a tractor test stand and under real driving conditions are at a very low level and similar to diesel operation. However, with rapeseed oil fuel from decentral production a greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of up to nearly 90 % compared to diesel can be achieved. Additionally, a bunch of ecological benefits are associated. Hence, plant oil fuelled tractors could play an important role within decarbonisation strategies of the agricultural sector.
