What carbon intensity can CBG achieve?
sourced
Manure and waste-based biomethane can reach very low or negative carbon intensities - dairy-manure pathways are cited around minus 250 to minus 300 gCO2e/MJ under California's LCFS, against a fossil comparator of 82.87 gCO2e/MJ there and 94 under RED II. Food-waste and wastewater pathways sit higher at roughly 20-40 gCO2e/MJ, and crop-based pathways higher still.
