Base data for quantitites of manure and agricultural residues available in Switzerland aggregated per municipalities and provided yearly and monthly. Method: The biomass considered in this study consists of agricultural residues arising according to current practice, i.e. mainly manure and some crop by-products. Availability was calculated following the method of (Burg et al., 2018) based on the updated national agricultural inventory (FSO, 2018). The animal manure potential considered here represents the total annually collected amount, i.e. generated amount after subtracting losses from grazing. With regard to crop by-products, only a small percentage of the theoretical potential was considered to be available since most crop by-products cannot be readily collected today (Burg et al., 2018). The potential biogas production used in the present study was calculated analogously as in Burg et al. (2018) based on a specific biogas yield from fresh biomass. The additional potential of co-substrates from industrial or municipal organic wastes was not considered here.
