AbstractThis study investigated biochemical methane potential (B0) of manure residues and solid–liquid separation fractions from Australian dairies. This is important for country-specific sector emissions and biogas potential estimates. A range of samples were collected from 12 farms across 4 Australian states, and B0 was measured. A first B0 value for grazing dairy effluent is reported, at 161 LCH4·kgVS-1. The B0 of manure residues from intensive dairies with total mixed ration feeding was not significantly different, at 202 LCH4·kgVS-1. Passive solid–liquid separation decreased B0 with potential fugitive methane losses. Mechanical separation preserved B0, allowing organic matter diversion to reduce fugitive methane emissions. Cleaning method at a dairy significantly influenced residue total solids content, important for solid–liquid separation and selection of anaerobic digestion technology. Overall, B0 for Australian dairy residues was estimated at 76.2 million m3N methane per annum, with a total energy content of 2.8 petajoules·annum−1.
