The efficient use of the limited supply of resources and the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases are key challenges in the 21st century. To reach sophisticated climate directives stated by legislative power, the search for saving potentials throughout all branches is necessary. Finding technologies and strategies along the process chain in agriculture is the aim of the joint research project “EKoTech – Efficient fuel use in agricultural technology”. The further aim of the project is to give recommendations for action towards farmers and manufactures for a further application of saving potentials. To show already reached savings and to build up a database for the project, a comprehensive research of literature is done at the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Hohenheim. This article shows an extract of the research and discusses first results of the evaluation.
