Fuel emissions and how to reduce them
A quick summary of why fuel represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.
- Where do fuel emissions come from?
Emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as diesel and petrol, used for machinery, vehicles, and other farm equipment. These contribute directly to carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
- How can I reduce my fuel emissions?
- Maintain machinery regularly to optimise fuel efficiency.
- Transition to biofuels or electric machinery.
- Plan operations to minimise unnecessary trips or equipment use.
