AGCO Biomass Solutions

with Challenger

Looking for biomass expertise? You just found it. Since 2009, AGCO Biomass Solutions has been working with researchers and industry leaders to perfect biomass feedstock supply chain logistics - and fuel an emerging industry.

What Is Biomass and why it Matters?

Very simply, it's organic material that can be processed into electricity, heat and fuel. It may sound new but it's actually the oldest fuel known to man.

Because it creates renewable energy - a market that's rapidly expanding along with smarter biomass harvesting practices and equipment. Using biomass:
- Increases Farming Yields
- Generates Renewable Energy
- Creates Sustainable Materials
- Replaces Fossil Fuels
- Reduces Carbon Footprint
- Improves National Security

Opportunity

Why It's A Growth Opportunity For Farmers
- The world population is expected to reach 8 billion by 2024
- The world's farmers must increase productivity while preserving the environment
- Increasing yields produces increasing waste such as corn stover
- To feed growing populations, that waste will have to be managed with new solutions
- Biomass solutions create new opportunities for farm equipment innovators and farmers
The Biomass Bottom Line

The market for renewable energy projects is poised to expand exponentially — and likewise, biomass harvesting practices and equipment are advancing at an exhilarating pace.
Why AGCO Biomass?

We provide the insight and innovation that can increase your biomass productivity and efficiency. For over 5 years, we have been:
- Working with Iowa State and Oklahoma State University researchers on emerging biomass solutions
- Continuously refining our unique approach to harvesting practices and equipment
- Supporting industry leaders like DuPont to perfect supply chain logistics
