Development and Utilization of New Energy in Large Scale Dairy Farms Hu Chaoyang, Beijing Sifang Shuntong Animal Husbandry Technology Development Co., Ltd. “Knowledge is highly determined and science and technology lead the future.†Dairy farms are aiming for comprehensive resource utilization to achieve sustainable development. With new directions and innovative thinking, they promote the concept of health and harmony, and provide a three-dimensional interpretation of renewable energy development and utilization. First, the development trend of dairy farms in China The domestic dairy industry continues to grow at a healthy pace, with rising output and consumption of dairy products. This means increased demand for raw milk, leading to larger-scale dairy farming operations. Large-scale dairy farms have achieved intensification and modernization simultaneously, making them a key trend in agricultural development, integrating intensive practices, modern technologies, and information systems. Second, the challenges faced by large-scale dairy farms Most newly built dairy farms are located on the outskirts of cities, where municipal infrastructure is limited, requiring independent heating, water supply, and backup power systems. As the scale of farming increases, environmental pollution and energy shortages become significant constraints, raising operational costs. Globally, there's growing attention on the environmental impact of large-scale dairy farms. Excessive manure and wastewater contribute to surface and groundwater contamination, soil degradation, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, severely affecting ecological balance. Additionally, milking and cooling equipment consume large amounts of electricity, creating an energy crisis. III. Development and Utilization of New Energy in Large-Scale Dairy Farms Faced with worsening ecological conditions and potential energy shortages, renewable energy sources like biomass, solar, and geothermal are increasingly valued by governments and enterprises. These green energies can be fully utilized in large-scale dairy farms. 1. Utilization of Biomass Energy Biomass energy involves anaerobic fermentation of cow manure and biogas generation. With abundant manure and sewage, this process turns waste into valuable resources, producing biogas that generates electricity and heat for the entire farm. This reduces environmental pollution while promoting sustainable energy use. Anaerobic treatment of dairy waste not only protects the environment but also recycles nutrients, energy, and water in closed-loop systems. For example, a 2,000-cow farm can generate 3,000 cubic meters of biogas daily, producing about 4,500 kWh of electricity. This approach helps reduce pollution, lowers storage costs, and creates economic and ecological benefits. 2. Application of Shallow Geothermal Energy Shallow geothermal energy systems offer efficient heating, cooling, and hot water solutions for dairy farms. By using ground-source heat pumps, these systems provide winter heating (20°C), summer cooling (24–26°C), and hot water (50–60°C) for milking areas. They are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and significantly reduce pollution compared to traditional coal or gas boilers. The central liquid-cooled and heat-sourced system uses biogas-powered equipment and consists of three independent loops: energy collection, boosting, and release. It reuses well water without depleting it, ensuring sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Compared to coal or gas boilers, this system emits no pollutants, operates efficiently, and provides year-round comfort. 3. Solar Energy Solar energy offers a clean and sustainable solution for dairy farms. Installing solar panels can power street lights, water heaters, and other facilities. While initial investment may be higher, long-term savings on maintenance and electricity costs make it a smart choice. Solar lighting systems are reliable, safe, and require minimal upkeep, making them ideal for remote or off-grid locations. IV. Prospects for New Energy Utilization in Dairy Farms Renewable energy represents a sustainable future for the energy sector. Those who adopt and master these technologies will shape the future of energy. In China, where energy resources are limited and environmental concerns are rising, the integration of new energy in large-scale dairy farms plays a crucial role in advancing the circular economy and achieving long-term sustainability.
