Hi,

Would like some assistance on modeling RNG through manure source. Not sure where to input and what results to view. Also, how would I model RNG blended into Hydrogen?

Kind regards

I would suggest that you look at the Day 2 presentation from the webinars that we did last November.

There is a hythane pathway in the model. Column BT on the Upstream emissions sheet. It is not very flexible to accommodate RNG and Hydrogen but you can see from the formulas that it is pretty easy to do this outside of the model.

Thank you for this,
another question, I was looking at the Coprods sheet and was wondering why "Emissions displaced by Anaerobic digestion" values are different in Canada vs USA? Any light on this please?

Those values come from Common Reporting Forms that each country completes as part of the National GHG inventory reports.

There are a number of factors that impact the values, ambient temperatures and manure management practices are the two that have the biggest impact. The US is warmer (more methane produced) and herd sizes are generally larger which requires different management practices.

Thank you for the information! Much appreciated.
I'm trying to study a model where I blend in a specific percentage of RNG into NG feedstock for Hydrogen production.
