Anaerobic Digester vs Open Decomposition Simulator

Interactive 3D comparison of two pathways for agricultural waste: an open pile that vents methane straight to the atmosphere, versus a sealed anaerobic digester that captures the biogas, burns it for power and cuts climate impact twice over.

The same stream of agricultural waste — manure or crop residue — splits into two pathways side by side. On the left it decomposes in an open pile, venting methane straight into the atmosphere. On the right an identical sealed anaerobic digester captures the biogas in a gas-storage dome and burns it in a generator for real electrical output. Adjust the feed rate and waste type and watch each pathway's cumulative climate-impact readout diverge in real time, with a running tally of the emissions the digester avoids.

⚙ Under the hood

Compare two fates for the same agricultural waste stream side by side: an open pile that vents methane straight into the atmosphere, versus a sealed anaerobic digester that captures the biogas and burns it for power. Adjust feed rate and waste type and watch each pathway's cumulative climate-impact readout diverge, with a live energy-output gauge and a running tally of emissions the digester avoids.
