New Holland Agriculture has announced a new tractor designed to run on fuel created on-site using cow manure. The T7 Methane Power LNG offers the same power and torque as a diesel tractor, but it's part of a system that can greatly reduce emissions.

140 tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, 3-liter engine provided by FPT Industrial. The engine has 135 hp and torque of 620 Nm. Fuel gas is collected in 9 tanks holding a total of 50 kg of biomethane. This allows the tractor to work for about half a day under normal operating conditions.

The New Holland T6 Methane Power is the world's first 100% methane powered production tractor, and is key to completing the virtuous cycle of the Energy Independent Farm system. Farmers grow crops and use waste products to generate biomethane, which powers the tractor, which, in turn, helps to grow those very crops.

Where New Holland Compact Tractors are Made? New Holland compact tractors are manufactured in several locations, including the United States, China, Brazil, etc. The company has multiple production facilities located in the US and Europe. But, their main manufacturing unit is in Italy under CNH Global Industries.

New Holland has unveiled a prototype T7 Methane Power tractor that runs on a liquified version of the gas to give longer working times to a fill.

Methane is an odorless, colorless, flammable gas. It is used primarily as fuel to make heat and light. It is also used to manufacture organic chemicals.

As the major constituent of natural gas, methane is important for electricity generation by burning it as a fuel in a gas turbine or steam generator. Compared to other hydrocarbon fuels, methane produces less carbon dioxide for each unit of heat released.

A power-to-methane system combines hydrogen from a power-to-hydrogen system with carbon dioxide to produce methane (see natural gas) using a methanation reaction such as the Sabatier reaction or biological methanation resulting in an extra energy conversion loss of 8%, the methane may then be fed into the natural gas ...

These can be used to make high-quality organic fertilizers. Energy generation: Through cogeneration equipment, biogas can be used to produce electricity or thermal energy that can be self-consumed or even incorporated into the electrical grid.

Raw biogas typically consists of methane (50–75%), carbon dioxide (25–50%), and smaller amounts of nitrogen (2–8%). Trace levels of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, hydrogen, and various volatile organic compounds are also present in biogas depending on the feedstock.

In 1986, Ford purchased Sperry-New Holland and the company continued to make farm tractors and attachments. Those old blue Ford tractors would become New Holland in 1991 when Ford sold its farming business to Fiat and the Ford farming brand became Case – New Holland.

ECOBlue™ SCR Nef engines POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT. T6 tractors are powered by ECOBlue™ SCR Nef engines developed in partnership with FPT Industrial. As part of the Clean Energy Leader® strategy, proven SCR technology uses AdBlue to transform the harmful nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas into harmless water and nitrogen.
