Full proceedings at: http://www.extension.org/72776 New York State’s largest manure-based anaerobic co-digestion facility was evaluated continuously for a 2-year period following the U.S. EPA Protocol for quantifying and reporting on the performance of anaerobic digestion systems for livestock manures. Overall, we assessed and determined the system’s performance with respect to the: 1) conversion of biomass to biogas, 2) conversion of biogas to useful energy, and 3) system’s economics. The information developed by this project can be used to compare performance information developed from other manure-based anaerobic digestion systems.
