Valio farm using manure-powered milk truck Reducing HGV traffic emissions is a part of Finland’s 2035 carbon-neutrality target. Finnish dairy cooperative Valio said one solution can be found in cow manure, which can be made into biogas that can, in the future, replace fossil diesel fuel for HGVs in Finland. The Vuorenmaa dairy farm in Haapavesi has filled Finland’s first manure-powered milk truck with the farm’s renewable biogas. Using biogas as vehicle fuel is a part of Valio’s program aiming to reset milk’s carbon footprint to zero by 2035. The Vuorenmaa farm has 180 cows that produce milk for Valio’s local dairy, where it is made into Valio Oltermanni cheese. The farm already uses its manure to generate electricity and heat for the farm at its own biogas plant.
