The energy expenditure on prodn. of briquetted biofuel made of a digestate from monosubstrate pig-manure biogasification plant and triticale straw was simulated and tested by detn. of combustion heat and calorific value (14.40 and 13.07 MJ/kg, resp.). The energy balance for the use of post-fermentation waste for combustion purposes was performed. The net energy efficiency was calculated as 5.85 MJ/kg (1.63 kWh/kg) of the briquetted biofuel.
