A Network with concrete actions
Efficient 20 was designed to encourage farmers and foresters to contribute to reach the target set by the European Union of 20% energy savings compared to the projections by 2020.
32 pilot groups in 9 different countries implemented fuel saving actions
A European communication campaign allowed speaking loud about fuel savings
Tractor manufacturers, agricultural schools and farming organisations were invited to join the network

Background
The focus was put on fuel oil used in farming machinery, which represents more than 50% of the energy consumed in agriculture
The agricultural operations are complex, fuel consumptions are not well known
Making savings as attractive as renewable energy production was our challenge!
