A Clean Energy Revolution in Agriculture and Construction is Here

Industrial sectors such as agriculture and construction account for nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions, but although it may seem daunting, reducing emissions in these industries is possible. Indeed it’s already happening, as clean technologies including biogas capture and vehicle electrification begin to take hold.

In this series sponsored by CNH Industrial, we’ll take a closer look at the evolution of clean energy in these industries, the changes that are already happening, and what’s to come.
