here that powering the digester requires energy inputs equal to one third of its average energy output. Choice of Capacities. There are, to the best of my knowledge no digesters in the U.S. currently functioning on farms with less than 400 cows. Consequently manufacturers of micro- turbines do not cater to small capacities. The least powerful micro-turbine suitable for use with bio-gas on the market today is a 30 kW model on offer from the Capstone Turbine Corporation. Consequently, there are not a great deal of capacity choices currently available to dairy farms of the size I am interested in. However, I am assured by a Capstone representative that scaling up or down turbine sizes does not pose significant technical difficulty. Were there a market for other sizes, they could become available. Given the longer-term hypothetical view of this project, I therefore take the liberty of supposing that micro-turbines are available in a range of sizes. I have already argued that a capacity in excess of EPP will not be selected. On the other extreme, if ps
