The use of energy in the agricultural sector is one of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The use of machinery, equipment and technology in the agricultural sector requires the use of energy. In order to sum up this dividend, that is, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the use of energy and to supply energy to agriculture, there should be a search for new solutions. Global thinkers agree that the most effective greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy This is due to energy consumption, increased efficiency and energy performance, and the use of renewable energy in the agricultural sector.
The concept of efficiency and efficiency means doing work and activity with less energy. Renewable energies, which are also reversible energy, are also called energy types that, unlike non-renewable energies, are capable of returning to nature. Types Renewable energies include: Hydropower (hydroelectric power), wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy and waves and tidal energy. The highest amount of renewable energy comes from traditional methods such as wood burning. Hydrogen is the second type of renewable energy that is consumed in the world.
The main sources of renewable energy are directly or indirectly powered by the sun. Wind and water are the simplest types of renewable energies that mankind uses for many years. In agriculture, the use of renewable energy and Increasing energy efficiency is more important than ever, because it faces multiple energy challenges. The most important energy challenges of the agricultural sector are:
۱-The wisdom and cost of energy reduces profits and renders farm management and planning difficult.
۲٫ The risk to foreign oil is long-term risk and risk. (Due to price increase and access to it)
۳٫ The input costs of nitrogen fertilizers are linked to the cost of energy.
۴٫ Combustion of fossil fuels contributes to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
As a result, farmers in the current world face increasing energy costs and uncertainty about the future energy policy of the agricultural sector. Many farmers do not need to improve energy efficiency in the process of producing and replacing new energies. Instead of traditional fossil fuels, such as wind, solar, and biofuel products, farmers have always been looking for ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce input costs. For example, fuel for many vehicles and machines. The farm is diesel, which is a much more efficient fuel than gasoline.
The constant concern about energy costs, coupled with new concerns about greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2) from fossil fuel burning, has created incentives to further control energy in the future. At the moment, “intelligent energy” “It’s designed at the farm level and improves energy management, both good for both products and soil, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.” Many farmers are reviewing their renewable fuel options in the form of biofuels. Use of agricultural products and their residues to produce energy instead of fuels Slabs. A wide range of agricultural raw material is proposed for the use of new energy, including seed, crop residues, cellulosic products (eg, grass, sugar cane), and various tree species. Technology advances, alternative biofuels Has reduced a significant proportion of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. In the United States, the use of biofuels has led to a reduction of 670 to 1710 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, accounting for 9 to 24 percent of the emissions Reducing the greenhouse of the United States. The United Kingdom will adopt a strategy for agriculture in 2050 It is cost effective to use new and more efficient energy in the field, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 80%. The important year is the adoption of new management practices and the use of new energy and, ultimately, the success rate of any strategy in The reduction of greenhouse gases in the agricultural sector is directed at farmers. Farmers’ decisions are also motivated by their profitability. Therefore, the methods for the new management of energy in the agricultural sector should be considered, which is primarily economically attractive to farmers.
