In contrast to waste in a full sense of the word, brewery mash is not considered as waste nowadays but rather as a material for various kinds of use. It can be fed to animals or processed to produce biogas. Various scientific and state institutions conduct experiments to find other possibilities of its use. Our experiment was focused on analysing the energy potential of this material.
