Investigation of the prospect of energy self-sufficiency and technical performance of an integrated PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell), dairy farm and biogas plant system
Guan, Tingting; Alvfors, Per; Lindbergh, Göran - In: Applied Energy 130 (2014) C, pp. 685-691
A PEMFC fuelled with hydrogen is known for its high efficiency and low local emissions. However, the generation of …-CHP with a stack having an electrical efficiency of 40% generates 360MWh electricity and 680MWh heat per year, which is enough … to cover the energy demand of the whole system while the total efficiency of the PEMFC-CHP system is 82%. The integrated …

Investing in Methane Digesters on Pennsylvania Dairy Farms: Implication of Scale Economies and Environmental Programs
Leuer, Elizabeth R.; Hyde, Jeffrey; Richard, Tom L. - In: Agricultural and Resource Economics Review 37 (2008) 2
A stochastic capital budget was used to analyze the effect of net metering policies and carbon credits on profitability of anaerobic digesters on dairy farms in Pennsylvania. We analyzed three different farm sizes—500, 1,000, and 2,000 cows—and considered the addition of a solids...

Decoupling and prices: determinant of dairy farmers’ choices?
Lelyon, Baptiste; Chatellier, Vincent; Daniel, Karine - In: Review of Agricultural and Environmental Studies - … 92 (2011) 1, pp. 47-68
In this paper, we discuss the cross-effects on the productive strategy of French dairy farms due to the decoupling and to price variation. A model based on mathematical programming has been developed to determine how dairy farmers might re-evaluate their systems to identify an optimal production...
