Description
Biogas applications based on the production of energy from renewable resources have emerged in the past years due to several countries setting quotas for bioenergy thus promoting anaerobic digestion for heat and electricity generation. Maize is one of the most common substrates for biogas production based on energy crops because of the high yields per hectare with ensiling as the preferred method for storage. Experiments were performed to investigate whether conditions during the silage fermentation and the addition of starter cultures can affect the biogas yields.
