Deliverable 2.4

For Deliverable 2.4, the Danish Technological Institute (DTI) turned its attention to long-term storage methods using chemical and biological ensiling techniques. Laboratory scale tests at DTI showed that the pH of untreated brown seaweed without additives yielded poor conservation of the seaweed biomass. On the other hand, biological ensiling with molasses and inoculum resulted in a low pH – dramatically improving the storage stability of the fermented biomass.
