Harvest of hemp as a biogas substrate

Hemp is being harvested for the utilization as a substrate for biogas production.
A standard forage harvester is used to cut and chop hemp. The hemp is then collected and pressed into a silage tube for storage or used directly in the biogas process (anaerobic digestion).

The video was uploaded by Thomas Prade, PhD student at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (www.SLU.se) in Alnarp, Sweden.
Researchers involved in the project:

The field trials are part of a research project financed by Lunds Energi AB and Partnerskap Alnarp
