Blue biomass

Blue biomass is generally all biomass coming from the waters, such as algae and water plants.

Used units are:

  • Ton for amount
  • % for dry matter (DM)
  • % of DM for organic matter and VS
  • kg per ton for macro elements (N, NH4-N, P, K, organic C, Mg, Ca and Na)
  • gram per ton for trace elements (Cu and Zn)

The shown values are to be considered as examples, alone, that illustrates the chemical composition for relevant parametres, and as well the variation in the composition. The references must be consulted in each case in order to clarify for instance the analysis method.
