AD as solution to anthropogenic methane
- Poorly managed organic wastes:
- Rotting wastes in landfill
- Untreated sewage
- Storage of livestock manure
Methane losses from AD sites – the extent of the problem
• Losses of 0.4 – 14.9% of overall biogas production
• Higher losses from smaller AD plants
• Higher losses from sludge than agricultural plants
