Abstract

Seaweed needs to be preserved for year-round fuel production due to the seasonal nature of its growth. Ensilage is a low energy method of preserving wet biomass. This paper reviews the use of ensiling for the preservation of seaweed and concludes that ensiling appears to be an energy-efficient method of preserving seaweeds for year-round production of biofuel, and in particular biogas, but there is a need for considerably more research especially at scale.
