AD Long-Term
Germinal’s Aber HSG grass seed mixtures can be used for anaerobic digestion (AD) and are ideally suited to biogas production, delivering long-term grass ley options.
Grass provides a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable feedstock for anaerobic digesters.
Compared to crops requiring annual cultivations, grass leys allow more opportunity to spread the liquid or solid waste product from digesters without the need to plough back in.
Key benefits
- Aber HSG varieties offer higher WSC content
- These AD mixtures generate a higher yield and rate of biogas production
