N-3/19 Hovedrapport fra prosjekt «REN BIODIESEL SOM DRIVSTOFF I NORSK LANDBRUK»

Fendt

Prosjektets hovedkonklusjon er at fornybar biodiesel etter EN 15940-standarden fungerer teknisk og driftsmessig minst like bra som konvensjonell fossil diesel. Det er ingen kaldstartsproblematikk om vinteren, ingen tette dyser eller filtre og ingen ekstra vedlikeholdsutfordringer. Traktorbrukerne rapporterer dessuten om en klar fordel, at det er renere avgasser, som er en HMS-fordel ved bruk av den fornybare dieselen.
