Biogas Calculator
Calculate the implementation feasibility of a biogas and bioproducts project.
What is it
The Biogas Calculator is a tool designed for users seeking to valorize biomass residues for bioenergy and bioproduct generation. In the initial form, the user enters the residue type, the annual volume generated (in tons per year or by cultivation area in hectares), the harvest period (seasonality months), and the final product of interest. From these inputs, the platform projects biogas potential (in m³/year), allows configuring the system implementation level, and provides an estimated financial return (payback).
What is it for
• Evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of biogas and bioproduct projects; • Estimate the investment payback period; • Project the annual volume of biogas generated based on biomass availability.
How to use
1. Identify yourself: enter your name, email and municipality, and consent to the use of your data (LGPD); 2. Select the residue: Choose the biomass of interest for sizing; 3. Enter the volume: Provide the annual availability (in tons/year) or planted area (in hectares); 4. Define the harvest season: Indicate crop seasonality distribution across the months; 5. Choose product and calculate: Select the desired bioproduct and click to calculate potential and view financial indicators.
