Description

This quantification protocol is written for those familiar with anaerobic digester projects. Some familiarity with, or general understanding of, the operation of these projects is expected. The opportunity for generating carbon offsets with this protocol arises primarily from the indirect reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from displacing fossil fuel based electricity, thermal energy or natural gas in gas transmission systems with the biogas from the anaerobic digestion of materials (primarily agricultural materials such as manure, silage, dead animal stocks, etc). There is a small opportunity to generate direct offsets from direct combustion or diversion of waste from landfills, if the full flexibility of the protocol is employed.

Description

Ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from soils with manure application have potential impacts on air quality and greenhouse effects. This report evaluates the measurement schemes and describes the development of measuring protocols for ammonia and nitrous oxide emissions from soil treated with cattle or hog manure, and consists of theoretical considerations for a new equation and its application.
