Central Alberta
The heat is generated when oxygen is able to get to the microbes that are breaking down the silage. You would be burning up the food value of your silage for some very inefficient heat. Keeping oxygen out of silage is the main goal of using silage for feed.

Doing some rough calculations, the cost of fuel required to put up enough silage to allow to spoil, so that you could generate a little heat, is many times the return value.
