Biogas
Maize silage has been shown to be one of, if not the, best agricultural feedstocks for biogas production. When mixed with other organic wastes or used alone maize based biogas production has proved to be economic across Europe. MGA Biogas related information aims to provide growers with biogas specific advice on variety choice, agronomy and digestate recycling.
