Agroenergy: When Agriculture Also Produces Electricity

Agroenergy combines agricultural production and renewable generation on the same surface: solar greenhouses, elevated panels, or photovoltaic pastures allow for simultaneous cultivation and electricity production; integrating these solutions not only covers own consumption and provides between €800 and €1,200/ha in additional income, but also reduces the agricultural carbon footprint by up to 20 t CO2 annually, turning the farm into a hub for food and clean energy.

Carbon Footprint in Agriculture

The agricultural carbon footprint groups all GHG emissions—from machinery diesel to enteric methane and nitrous oxide from fertilizer—converted to CO2 eq; identifying that, for example, 45% comes from enteric fermentation and 25% from applied nitrogen allows for prioritizing solutions like precision agriculture and biogas digesters to capture methane and optimize inputs.
