Abstract
The aim of the project was to discover methods for achieving energy conservation in relation to farming. The method was to send out questionaires, to carry out measurements, energy analyses and tests, and to collect information on the subject - in Denmark. It was found important to clarify whether there is any connection between electricity consumption and the forms of farm production. The average electricity consumption for farms with crop, pig, milk, mixed farming and poultry production was found to be 79,000, 91,000, 68,000, 86,000 and 133,000 kWh annually, respectively. There seemed to be a proportional relationship between electricity consumption and the total area of fields, and with the size and character of herds owned by the farms. Danish farmers were generally positive about investing money in energy conservation. 64% of them accepted a pay-back period of 5 years, the remainder wished for a shorter term. 50% of the the farmers expected an increase of 5% in electricity consumption within the next 5 years. It was concluded that potentials for savings lay within the areas of ventilation (25-60%, pig and poultry), heating (15-33%, barns for piglets), lighting (15-35%, barns for cows and sows), milk cooling (15-20%) and corn drying, (15-40%,
