-The calculation of emissions from storage of digestate from energy crops considers two different types of storage, i.e. gastight storage and open tank. The frequencies of these storage types are also provided by KTBL (see Table 2). There are no emissions of NH<sub>3</sub>  and NO from gastight storage of digestate. Hence the total emissions from the storage of digestate are calculated by multiplying the amount of N in the digestate leaving the fermenter with the relative frequency of open tanks and the emission factor for open tank. The amount of N in the digestate leaving the fermenter is identical to the N amount in energy crops fed into anaerobic digestion (see Table 1) because N losses from pre-storage are negligible and there are no N losses from fermenter (see Rösemann et al. 2023, Chapter 5.1).+The calculation of emissions from storage of digestate from energy crops considers two different types of storage, i.e. gastight storage and open tank.

 +As no specific emission factor is known for the storage of digestion residues in open tanks, the NH<sub>3</sub> emission factor for storage of cattle slurry with crust in open tanks was adopted (0.045 kg NH<sub>3</sub> -N per kg TAN). This choice of emission factor is based on the fact that energy crops are, in general, co-fermented with animal manures (i. e. mostly slurry) and that a natural crust forms on the liquid digestates due to the relatively high dry matter content of the energy crops.

The NO emission factor for storage of digestion residues in open tanks was set to 0.0005 kg NO-N per kg N. Table 3 shows the resulting implied emission factors for NH<sub>3</sub> -N and NO-N. NO<sub>x</sub>  emissions are related to NO-N emissions by the ratio of 46/14.
