New Holland has received the prestigious 2018 Good Design Award for its Methane Powered Concept Tractor from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Methane (CH4) and belching cows have been a media hot topic for some time now and the body of science around CH4 continues to grow.

A UK study has for the first time demonstrated in evidence the importance of GWP* for more accurately assessing the climate impact of livestock methane.

While it was already known that Brussels ponds were sources of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, a scientific study by researchers from the University of Liège (ULiège) and the Free University of Brussels reveals that clear water ponds emit more methane than those with turbid water.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It is released from natural sources (like wetlands) and human activities (coal mining, and oil and gas production). It is also emitted by agriculture (especially livestock and rice paddies), and decomposing waste in rubbish dumps.
