Energy solutions for agriculture and livestock breeding
Farming and livestock breeding are high energy consumers. Farms need electricity to power their systems, irrespective of their type of activity and their location.
Agriculture and livestock breeding require a constant source of energy. Since farmers need to milk their cows, feed their cattle, plant or harvest their crops and store their fruit and vegetables, farms need a reliable electricity supply system. In farming, lengthy power cuts can result in losses of products and significant financial losses.
Farmers and livestock breeders need a continuous supply of electricity to heat, cool and ventilate cattle sheds and greenhouses, to store crops or fresh fruit and vegetables, or to maintain production activities (e.g., milking machines). A failure of the electricity supply systems can impact the well-being of the animals, the condition of the crops, agricultural machinery or irrigation systems.
It is essential to be able to rely on the most efficient energy solutions in order to deliver power to farms and livestock breeders, and to guarantee continuity of activity, even when the electricity grid is unavailable.
Thanks to our expertise in energy engineering and to our backup electricity systems for agriculture, you can benefit from solutions specifically adapted to your agricultural operations in order to secure a continuous supply of electricity for your agricultural buildings and machinery.
Your agricultural and forestry machinery also deserves reliable, power and fuel-efficient engines. In addition, the availability of readily accessible spare parts is also necessary for efficient maintenance.

Backup gensets for agriculture
The power of a genset can vary significantly, according to the energy demands of your agricultural equipment and buildings.
It is essential to have backup gensets that meet the energy demands of your agricultural equipment and buildings in order to have an energy solution that meets all the demands for electricity of your agricultural or livestock breeding facility.
Our experts offer the best equipment in our broad range of diesel and biodiesel gensets that are best adapted to the agricultural sector. We adapt our solutions to the geographic location of your facilities, which may be in isolated places that are not connected to the main electricity grid.
Industrial engines for agricultural and forestry machinery
We can offer innovative equipment solutions that will help you to boost your productivity and remain competitive, irrespective of the profile of your farm.
The engines installed in your agricultural machinery (combine harvesters, tractors, harvesters, etc.) or your forestry machines must be compact and environmentally friendly, with a favourable weight-to-power ratio. Our renowned expertise in industrial engines enables us to propose a broad range of high-performance engines for your agricultural and forestry machinery.
We can support your integration engineering works to strike the best compromise between performance and the cost of operation.

Do you want to harness the potential of renewable energies to fully or partially power your farming or livestock activities?
We have the right solutions for your projects.
Biodiesel
We offer biodiesel-fuelled gensets and industrial engines that can effectively help you to reduce your environmental impact.
Photovoltaic solar panels
Our solar panels are a source of renewable energy that supplement your main energy source and allow you to make good use of your available spaces to produce green energy.
You can install our photovoltaic panels on the roofs of your agricultural buildings or construct a photovoltaic building. The goal is to use the large surface areas of the roofs to produce high quantities of renewable electricity. You can consume this electricity yourself to supply green electricity to the building or the farm, or sell all the electricity back to the utility company.
Our Hybrid Sun-box technology enables you to connect these panels to our gensets to guarantee the continuity of the electricity supply, even when the sun is not shining.

Biomass boilers
Biomass enables you to reduce your dependency on fossil energies. It also uses local resources.
Biogas gensets
Methanation is a natural biological process that uses organic matter (dung, plant waste, fats, etc.) to produce energy in the form of biogas. This solution is particularly well suited to agriculture, as the development of renewable energies and the recovery of organic waste continue to grow.
We can call on our expertise and our know-how to offer high-performance solutions that use biogas to produce electricity and heat. Our biogas gensets are complete biogas recovery solutions, stretching from the treatment of the gas to the injection of the electricity into the main grid. And thanks to our cogeneration system, the biogas that is produced can be sold in the form of electricity and heat.
Thermal solar panels
Thermal solar panels produce water at temperatures of up to 180°C that can be used on your farm, even in overcast weather.
Hydrogen genset
The hydrogen genset solution: zero emissions guaranteed. The GEH2® only discharges water. Totally silent and odour-free.
Hydrogen-powered fuel cells produce the electricity you need for both a continuous power supply and a backup energy source.
When combined with our other sources of renewable energies, this technology offers a multitude of possibilities to reduce the environmental impact of your agricultural activities.
