How to Use This Calculator

Select feedstock type: 1 = animal manure, 2 = food waste, 3 = crop residue.
Enter feedstock weight in tons and the volatile solids percentage (organic fraction available for digestion).
Review Total Biogas (m³), Methane (CH₄) (m³), Electricity Potential (kWh), and CO₂ Offset (tons).
Use the bar chart to visualize biogas vs. methane vs. electricity output for your feedstock.
