Spreadsheet tool for calculating energy and GHG emissions
The AD tool provides a way of calculating energy use and production across a 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 feedstock inputs, including imported materials. Various options are given for biogas use and digestate application – just click on the thumbnails below for a detailed view.
