Seaweed Anaerobic Digestion: Can Beach Strandings Be Turned into Biogas?
Large seaweed strandings can create serious odour and health problems as the biomass decomposes. Could collecting the seaweed and using anaerobic digestion turn a coastal nuisance into renewable biogas? This article examines the opportunity, including ensiling for year-round storage, salinity inhibition, hydrogen sulphide, silage liquor and the essential safety precautions needed when handling decomposing seaweed.
Biogas Yield from Maize Silage vs Grass Silage Pros and Cons
Maize silage yields up to 0.38 m³/kg of methane, dominating biogas with 55% market share. Yet, it raises environmental concerns. Grass silage offers less yield but a higher methane quality. Co-digestion can optimize outputs, presenting a sustainable biogas future…
