Biogas production requires much cheaper raw materials. The use of straw, as not
always the full use of agricultural residues, increases the methane yield in pelletised form
compared to non-pelletised straw. Lack is the high ratio of carbon to nitrogen content of straw,
which leads to a slow and incomplete breakdown of the matter, and less producing substances
from which bacteria produce methane.Variety of additives can be used to improve anaerobic
digestion process. This article shows the results of the study, where the enzymes alpha amylase
and xylanase and catalysts Metaferm and Melafen mixture are used for the digestion process
echancement. Investigation was provided in 16 bioreactors operated in batch mode at 38 °C.
Additives were filled into 14 bioreactors and only inoculum were filled into two bioreactors for
control. The yield of biogas from straw pellets without additives was 0.655 L g

0.301 L g

DOM after 34 days of anaerobic digestion. The yield of biogas from straw pellets with
added alpha amylase was 0.652 L g

DOM. The yield of biogas from
straw pellets with added xylanase was 0.689 L g

DOM and methane 0.347 L g

DOM. The yield of
biogas from straw pellets with added Metaferm and Melafen mixture was 0.638 L g

DOM and
methane 0.254 L g

DOM. The study demonstrates that the adding of enzymes increases the
production of methane.
