Reducing Carbon Emissions in the Welsh Agricultural Industry

July 25, 2013 By Organic Wales

Farmers in Wales need to reduce their carbon emissions by 17%, according a report produced by the Environment Strategy for Wales. However, it’s easier said than done as the equipment that farmers use to do their job is the main contributor to the problem.

Contributors to the problem are central heating and fuel that produce CO2. In Wales, approximately 11% of the greenhouse gases created comes from the agriculture industry. This is because nitrous oxide is produced from the compost and slurry that is used substantially in farms. 80% of CO2 emissions in the UK need to be neutralised by 2050. Therefore, selecting contractors and the way we travel to work will become more important in the future. So important that the government has now request that companies track their carbon activity. Currently it is only companies on the London stock market that have to do this but it may soon be rolled out nationally in a bid to decrease carbon across the country.

Advice on lowering CO2 emissions has been made available to businesses including farmers in a scheme introduced by the government that is reported to have cost almost £13 million.

Carbon emissions on farms can be reduced by choosing the correct fuel supplier, as incredible as it may sound. Red diesel can be used in all automobiles that will not be driven on a public street. As it is slightly taxed, it is unlawful to use red diesel on open roads and is far cheaper than normal diesel. So it won’t be mistaken for normal diesel, the diesel is dyed red.

When it comes to harvesting crops red diesel is used to power farming equipment such as tractors. This is exactly how they obtain their revenue. If the target of 17% is not being met, the government can issue a fine to those farms. But is there anything farmers can do, even if it is damaging the environment?

In recent years new oil has been produced to battle this problem. It is intended to decrease carbon releases from the agriculture and additional related businesses. By using a new red diesel the carbon produced can now be counterbalanced.

Undeveloped nations now have more access to drinking water, contamination is being controlled and renewable energy is being created from the profits of carbon offset gas oil. Carbon credits are purchased by carbon counterbalancing firm with

the profits from carbon offset gas oil. Therefore, the benefits of carbon offset gas oil are being felt all over the world.
Every company that needs to create a government carbon counting report can use carbon offset red diesel on the report. Choosing a different fuel can decrease carbon activity on farms. Carbon offset red diesel is a direct replacement for normal red diesel.
