Life cycle GHG emissions from anaerobic digestion and co-digestion

What is it about?

The paper quantifies GHG emissions, ammonia emissions, and energy consumption of anaerobic digestion from dairy manure and compares it with co-digestion scenarios using different feedstocks (corn stover and switchgrass), scenarios with different management practices, and scenarios with different biogas uses.
