Anaerobic digestion

 

  Spreadsheet tool for calculating energy and GHG emissions
  The AD tool provides a way for calculating energy use and production across the whole farm, with or without a digester. Details of the farm are entered including crop areas, livestock numbers and nutrient requirements. Most inputs have recommended values but these can be substituted with user inputs. If a digester is installed it is possible to select the inputs, including imported materials. Various options are given for biogas use and digestate application.

  Copies including a manual are available as a zip file via email request of AD tool

The file should be sent automatically, if not please email ams1@soton.ac.uk
