Evaluation of the Bioenergetic Potential of Marine Macroalgae in Anaerobic Digestion Systems
CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT This study evaluated the production of biogas by anaerobic digestion, using three groups of marine macroalgae: Chlorophytes (green), Phaeophytes (brown), Rhodophytes (red), and their mixture (GRB). The objective was to investigate how the composition of each group influences the production of biogas and methane, as well as the use of digestate
