Case study - Energy efficiency

Replacing agricultural tractors, harvesters, sprayers and other attachments with modern equipment are popular BEERECL supported projects. Three firms, Kemapul Ltd, ZP Emil Stamov and ZKPU Obedinenie 93, replaced old inefficient tractors. Often one new larger tractor replaces four to six existing small tractors. Also projects often included ploughs, sprayers, cultivators and other tractor attachments.
