British Columbia – On-Farm Anaerobic Digester Benchmark Study

British Columbia – On-Farm Anaerobic Digestions Benchmark Study
Prepared for the B.C. Agricultural Research and Development Corporation – December 2011
By CH-Four Biogas Inc.

The British Columbia (B.C.) Anaerobic Digestion Benchmark Study evaluates the feasibility of developing onfarm anaerobic digestion (AD) systems at 12 agricultural sites. These sites were chosen to be representative of a broad demographic of B.C.’s agriculture sector. Using information from these sites, this study modeled specifications and parameters to determine the capital and operational costs for AD system development and operation. This included determining necessary energy tariffs and funding amounts to achieve economic viability using the sale of electricity or biomethane as the primary revenue source.
