Geronimo

Getting Energy Reduction on Agendas in Industrial Manufacturing Operations is a project that centres on bringing EU dairy farmers into the energy equation by breaking down the time, resource and knowledge barriers that may block them from being energy efficient. The RABDF are partners in this project and are enabling the real needs, aspirations and barriers of dairy farmers to be communicated to this Intelligent Energy Europe project. The 24 month project will guide and drive the building of a web-based platform known as Geronimo - the European Dairy Energy Website.

The website http://www.dairyenergy.eu/ is now up and running and will provide you with free and practical information on:

• Energy saving practices, devices and technology that will help you save money.
• Energy management tools and calculators that will allow to calculate how much energy you could save
• Renewable energy options such as anaerobic digestion
• Financial assistance, incentives and legislations

In times of rising milk production costs and moderate farm gate prices, reducing energy consumption can help the profitability of your farm. If you would like to find out more visit Geronimo to register and become part of an online dairy community and start saving.
