EU LEAD-PV aims to implement large-scale PV in arable farming to achieve 600 GWp renewable energy capacity by 2030, enhancing land use efficiency and farmer income while mitigating GHG emissions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Population growth and rising energy demand put pressure on achieving GHG emissions targets. Regarding energy production, at least 32% should come from renewable sources by 2030. This requires a total installed capacity of 600 GWp. To meet this target, the implementation of large-scale PV is crucial.
Project Overview
EU LEAD-PV offers a smart and effective climate change mitigation approach by implementing large-scale PV in arable farming, such that land use is efficient and social acceptance of large-scale PV is high. For the farmer, the advantage is extra, steady income, and indications are that the wind barrier created by the PV panels has advantages for crop growing. EU LEAD-PV offers an innovative solution in the following ways:
- EU LEAD-PV offers a climate change mitigation solution that can be rolled out quickly in large areas of the EU.
- EU LEAD-PV offers a solution for efficient land use.
- EU LEAD-PV’s financing model supports large-scale implementation and offers farmers a stable income.
- EU LEAD-PV has possible cultivation benefits.
- EU LEAD-PV heightens social acceptance of large-scale PV.
Pilot Results
Pilot results show that EU LEAD-PV delivers good crop yields and energy yields. LIFE EU LEAD-PV provides the necessary next step to pave the way for an accelerated scale-up across Europe by demonstrating and replicating EU LEAD-PV on a scale that is representative for both smaller and larger farmers. The replication potential will be shown by implementing EU LEAD-PV in different climates and regions in the EU.
Future Goals
With EU LEAD-PV, BayWa aims to reach an installed capacity of 2.5 GWp in 2032, five years after project end. Successful demonstration will cause competitors to follow BayWa's example soon, reaching a total installed capacity of 40 GWp in 2032. With this, EU LEAD-PV has a key role in achieving the renewable energy target and reducing GHG emissions on a large scale.
