AD information and tools

Background information

The following documents provide some invaluable background reading for anyone interested in anaerobic digestion:

  • The On-Farm Anaerobic Digestion Benchmark Study: This study was undertaken to provide an informational benchmark from which individuals and groups in B.C.'s agricultural sector can inform decisions pertaining to the development of on-farm anaerobic digestion systems. These benchmarks have been drawn based on the analysis and summation of feasibility studies developed for twelve (12) farm-sites in B.C. The twelve sites were selected with the intention of representing geographic, demographic and circumstantial variances. For a copy of the 12 Site Feasibility Studies, please click here
  • elorin Bioenergy Feasibility Study: This study, completed by the Eastern Lake Ontario Regional Innovation Network (elorin), provides some basic information on anaerobic digestion.
  • AD 101. This document provides some high level background information about the technology.

Anaerobic digestion calculators

Several anaerobic digestion calculators currently exist to help individuals conduct prefeasibility assessments. Two such calculators are:
