[USCC] Calculating Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Composting

[David Goldstein]

https://www.jgpress.com/wc08/m05.pdf , from the EPA's WARM model (April, 2008), says, "Centralized composting results in net greenhouse gas storage of 0.05 MTCE/wet ton of organic inputs composted and applied to agricultural soils."

Does anyone have an equation to calculate how much carbon dioxide is 
released during composting?  I realize it depends on many factors, so 
ballpark numbers are just fine.

Thanks everyone,
