Hi Steve

Have a look at good ol' Haug, Roger T (1993) The Practical Handbook of
Compost Engineering, Chapters 3 & 8

Cheers

Subject: [USCC] Calorific values for compost substrates

Hi all,

Does anyone have, or know where to find, calorific values for typical
compost substrates such as yard waste, biosolids, food waste,
agricultural wastes etc? I am interested in calculating theoretical
maximum temperature generation figures for a range of compost mixtures.

Thanks,
Steve
