Abstract: The research concerned the elaborate of non-waste biogas production technology based on the development of digestate from anaerobic digestion. In the anaerobic digestion process, the substrates of plant origin in the form of silage were used. The digestate obtained after biogas production was processed using the ORTWED method into a valuable granulated organic-mineral fertilizer, which contains a solid fraction of digestate, calcium and biogenic elements. This method can be successfully applied in agriculture in the context of its sustainable development due to the growing problem of utilization of digestate forming in agricultural biogas plants.
