Giant Miscanthus as a Substrate for Biogas Production

One unconventional source of energy, which may be applied in numerous production and municipal processes, is energy accumulated in plants. As a result of photosyn-thesis, solar energy is transformed into chemical energy accumulated in a form of carbohydrates in the plant biomass, which becomes the material that is more and more sought by power distribution companies and individual users. Currently, a lot of re-search on obtaining biogas from energy crops is conducted. Corn silage is used most often, however, there is a demand for alternative plants. The experiment described in this article was conducted with the use of giant Miscanthus (Miscanthus Giganteus).
