FM BioEnergy as part of ForFarmers agribusiness purchase a large volume of feed materials and co-products from the agricultural, brewers, distillers as well as human food and drinks industry. 
These materials are in the form of dry, moist and liquid feeds and are suitable for use as feedstock in Anaerobic Digestion plants.

For biogas plants fed with purpose grown crops making good silage is vital to their profitability. More biogas per tonne of material and minimised storage losses increases efficiency per hectare.
Firstly you need to select the right seed variety to suit your location and requirements. As part of ForFarmers we can offer an extensive range of seeds through our Forage division. Please click here for more information.

Once the crop is grown you need to ensure it is preserved correctly to minimise energy losses. FM BioEnergy recommend the use of Silasil Energy, a biogas specific silage additive manufacutured by Schaumann BioEnergy. Silasil Energy has been approved by the DLG (German Agricultural Society) as increasing methane yield and improving aerobic stability.

To efficiently manage a biogas plant and maximise financial returns, it's critical to understand what is going on inside the digester. This requires:

• an approved laboratory to carry out regular analysis, and
• technical knowledge to interpret the results, provide feedback and make corrections as required.
