Agriculturally Produced Energy
Benefits of Agriculturally Produced Energy:
Reduced Land Use Competition: Agrivoltaics can help balance the need for food production and renewable energy generation by utilizing the same land area for both purposes
Agriculture can both produce and consume energy. It produces energy through biomass conversion (e.g., biofuels) and through the generation of electricity using solar panels (agrivoltaics) and wind turbines. Simultaneously, agriculture relies on energy for various processes like powering machinery, irrigation, and producing fertilizers.
Reduced Reliance on Fossil Fuels: Diversifying energy sources on farms helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Lower Energy Costs: Renewable energy technologies can significantly lower energy costs for farmers, making their operations more sustainable.
Diversified Income: Agrivoltaics and other energy production methods can create new income streams for farmers, improving their financial resilience.
Environmental Benefits: Renewable energy production can reduce air and water pollution associated with fossil fuels and promote sustainable land management.
