Kraftstoffverbrauch und Reduktionspotenziale

Summary in the original language of the document

Although Organic Farming has lower CO2-Emission than Conventional Farming, there
is a further need to reduce the direct energy input especially in form of fossil fuel
consumption. Burning of one liter fossil diesel in an engine emits 2.62 kg fossil CO2.
Some selected measurements for increasing the fuel efficiency are presented and
discussed. Soil tillage with mould plough is an energy intensive process. Alternative
soil tillage systems without plough should be adapted for specific requirements in
Organic Farming. The usage of bio fuel (pure plant oil in adapted engines) in Organic
Farming should be more promoted
