ABSTRACT
The paper presents the issue of the influence of the conditions of maize silage storage on its energy value in the process of methane fermentation. For this purpose, the biogas and methane efficiencies of silage stored under anaerobic and aerobic conditions have been compared. On the basis of executed studies, it has been stated that the process of silage storage and its protection against the contact with air (oxygen) has a very large impact on its quality as a substrate for biogas plants. The silage stored in an oxygen atmosphere produced approx. 80 m3·Mg-1 of biogas less compared with silage stored under anaerobic conditions, and converting to an organic dry matter, its energy value expressed in produced methane decreases by approx. 70 m3·Mg-1.
