New Holland shows off its methane-powered concept tractor

In Illinois, New Holland says this its methane-powered concept tractor could reduce fuel costs by 30% with the same power and torque as its diesel-fueled line. The tractor has 80% lower emissions and 10% lower CO2 emissions. The tractor runs on upgraded biogas, meaning that on-farm biogas would require additional refining in order to be used to power the equipment or purchased from another source. The company has also demonstrated biodiesel and hydrogen powered tractors in the past.
