How do the Vehicles drive on PPO Carsharing und PR for PPO in Freiberg

• Carsharing with regional PPO since

2005 (from Tanklust→ to teilAuto)

• > 100 members

• 4 vehicles (1 on PPO)

• Uni for Children, Land of Ideas, …

• Presentations with hand driven oil mill

Draught Horse of Todays Agriculture

• Use of 30 to 35% of total agricultural area for draught horses

• Demand of agriculture: 5% of all diesel consumption in germany

• Less then 10% of fiels with oil plants to cover the fuel needs at

a farm or

• 100% mix cropping with e.g. camelina sativa (gold of pleasure;

false flax)

• ….and >100% of the protein fodder demand!

Development and Depletion of Decentralised Mills for Oil Crops in Germany

• Capacity to process up to 30% of all german raps seeds in 2007

• Reasons: full taxation, fuel and food discussion, rain forest,

• > 60% possible at a decentralised oil mill (minimum at 2018)

• 80% green house gas reduction by mix cropping

Oilmill of the Agricultural Cooperative

„Bergland“ Clausnitz

• Oilmill since 2005 in operation, accredited after EU-REDcert

• Processing of 800 t rape seed/a

• Utilisation of absorbent mineral to reach low values of P, Mg + Ca

• See company details: agrar-bergland-clausnitz.de

• Electricity production 8 times of the own demand (Wind, PV, Biogas, PPO)

Innovative Ideen sind gefragt

• Completly use of the press cake (dairy cows, arround 1,5 kg/d)

• Ration without imported soy meal

• Good experiences with press cake as a protein fodder for dairy cows

(no soy)

• Bread with 20% press cake from rape or flax (speciality protein

bread)

• 60% of the produced oil used as a fuel (PPO) on site

• Aim: completly utilisation of the PPO at the farm

Utilisation of press cake and oil the Agricultural

Cooperative „Bergland“ Clausnitz

______________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

• 8 PPO-tractors (Case, John Deere)

• up to 8.000 running hours

• 1 chopper on PPO

• Good experiences with 3 John Deere tractors (manufactures

version)

• 15% of the PPO is used for ignition fuel at a biogas CHP

• Processing 3.000 t rape seeds/a

• Products: 2.000 t press cake (protein) and 1.000 t oil (PPO)

• Press cake is used completly regional as fodder for cows and pigs

• Oil is partly used for fedding pigs

• Major part of the oil is exported

______________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________

• Low hanging fruit (low input fuel)

• Local Protein Production (no soy import)

• Multifuel (PPO) machinery available from the manufactures

with warranty (John Deere, Deutz, Fendt (Baywa))

• Integration into local economy and nutrient cycle

• Demonstration project with 200

tractors starting in october 2014 in

Bavaria

• Support from environmental

organisations, like BUND and

Euronatur (focus on alternative oil

crops)

• PUREPLANTOIL.ORG at EU-level
