Energy and Drive Systems Energy production and supply in an agricultural context

Germany has set itself the goal of achieving net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. To achieve this, the supply of electricity, heat and fuels must be completely converted to renewable sources. Agriculture plays a key role in this. In particular, the use of agricultural land for ground-mounted photovoltaic systems or agri-photovoltaic systems and the further use of bioenergy technologies are currently being discussed.    A reliable energy supply for agricultural machinery is an essential basis for a crisis-proof food and animal feed supply. There are various options for agricultural machinery to make the necessary switch from fossil diesel fuel to renewable drive energies. This includes the use of various biofuels or synthetic fuels, as well as the electrification of drive systems. The practical introduction of these options requires stable framework conditions, particularly with regard to the taxation of energy sources, and should be accompanied by a target group-orientated communication strategy.
