Energy Yield Examples
 
To maximize gas yields, the key factors will be organic matter content and the percentage of dry matter. Different waste products produce different amounts of gas.

Here are some comparative outputs:

Waste / Biogas Production

o Cattle manure/ 40 cubic meters per ton
o Cattle slurry/20 cubic meters per ton
o Pig manure/ 35 cubic meters per ton
o Pig slurry/ 15 cubic meters per ton
o Sewage sludge/ 5 cubic meters per ton
o Poultry manure/ 40 cubic meters per ton
o Vegetable processing residues/ 48 cubic meters per ton
o Dairy processing residues/ 50 cubic meters per ton
o Brewery Sludge/ 200 cubic meters per ton
o Restaurant waste/ 189 cubic meters per ton
