My choicesMeasures   Estimated improvement (you can change the %)
Electricity
   Switching to LED lights Milk barn

By replacing old light fixtures with LEDs, you will be able to save energy. It is especially interesting in rooms that do not need to be heated    (LED-kalkulator)

 13 125 kWh - 0,2 tonn CO2
   Switching to LED lights Pig barn

By replacing old light fixtures with LEDs, you will be able to save energy. It is especially interesting in rooms that do not need to be heated   (LED-kalkulator)

 14 080 kWh - 0,3 tonn CO2
   Solar cells on the roof

778 m2 Solar cells are intended to be installed on roofs facing south, but other locations are also relevant    (Solcellekalkulator)

 124 480 kWh - 2,4 tonn CO2
 
My choicesMeasures Heat - Propane is the default – select other energy sources below Energy distribution and carbon footprint
     Propan

 115 000 kWh - 26,5 tonnes CO2
   Wood chips boiler

Burning with forest chips or recycled wood chips    (Biobrenselkalkulator - test)

  
   Straw bioler

Heating with straw (80% of the total) egen halmproduksjon er beregnet til 54 167 kg som kan gi maksimalt 166 031 kWh

 
   Biogas

Biogas produces heat, electricity and saves methane from manure storage   (Biogasskalkulator)

   The milk tank recover heat

The milk must be cooled and this heat can be used as preheating for hot water    (Melketank-beregning)

 
   Heat pump

Heat pumps produce heat with 1/3-1/4 of electricity consumption by direct heating (60% av total)

 
   Electric boiler

Uses electricity for heating rooms and for hot water. (Calculates the remainder if other sources are chosen)
