Average biogas production yield by tonne of feedstock type

Notes

Food and green” represents food and garden waste (e.g. leaves and grass) disposed as MSW. Many plants use more than one feedstock for biogas production. Wastewater is excluded due to the high variability of yields, depending on wastewater and treatment technologies in different regions. toe = tonne of oil equivalent. 1 toe = 11.63 MWh = 41.9 gigajoules.
