CALCULATION CONTROL Factor changes should be versioned, not silently overwritten.

New factor values affect future calculations unless historical records are intentionally recalculated.

TOTAL VERSIONS 4 stored factor records
ACTIVE 4 current calculation factors
INACTIVE 0 historical factor versions
MANURE TYPES 4 distinct configured types

CALCULATION FLOW

How factors are applied

A concise view of the calculation chain behind daily carbon results.

01 Manure Mass processed gallons × manure density
02 Volatile Solids manure mass × solids assumptions
03 Baseline Methane VS × methane potential × density × MCF
04 Net CO₂e avoided methane × GWP − project emissions
FACTOR ROLE

What the core factors control

Compact reference for the assumptions that drive the carbon calculation.

INPUT CONVERSION

Manure Density

Converts processed volume into total manure mass used by downstream calculations.

METHANE GENERATION

Methane Potential + MCF

Defines theoretical methane-producing capacity and the baseline conversion behavior.

PROJECT PERFORMANCE

Capture + Destruction

Represents how effectively the project captures and destroys generated methane.

CLIMATE VALUE

Methane GWP

Converts avoided methane into carbon-dioxide-equivalent environmental value.
