How do I run a carbon calculation for my anaerobic digester (AD)?

Begin from Sandy's Homepage. Then click into Sustainability on the left-hand side. Next, select Carbon, and finally Carbon Calculator. Click +Start new calculation.

 

Insert your parameters for this specific carbon calculation. To run a footprint for your AD(s), select Specific enterprises, and then check the box for AD plant.

 

You can run a footprint for a single farm only, by selecting Specific farms, and then check the box for the relevant farm(s). This is useful if you have more than one AD on multiple farms and you wish to only calculate the carbon footprint of one of them. Click Next.

 

Next, click +Add data under the AD plant heading.

Check the Complete tick box at the end of each section so Sandy knows you have finished providing your data. If you don't do this, your calculation won't work!

 

When you're back in the calculator, ensure the AD block is marked as Complete. Click Calculate to proceed to your carbon calculation results.
