Abstract

The aim of the paper is to highlight the importance of the calorific properties of softwood biomass. The paper presents the caloric power and ash content, important caloric properties in the assessment of wood biomass. Biomass, in the form of wood, was and will remain an important combustible material. The value of ash content for spruce was 3.8% and 4.2% for fir. These values are within the international standards. Wood biomass, as a material can provide the energy need for the population at a reduced price. The combustion process are possible only in the presence of oxygen, which is usually introduced into the focal spot through the combustion air.

Highlights

The research conducted in the energy field has shown that biomass has combustible characteristics, that determine its competitive qualities in the energy market
Encouraging the use of biomass as a combustible material is outlined by the combustion plants adapted for burning various combustible materials. [1]
Wood samples for measuring caloric value and ash content were taken from tree trunks

Summary

Introduction

The research conducted in the energy field has shown that biomass has combustible characteristics, that determine its competitive qualities in the energy market. Encouraging the use of biomass as a combustible material is outlined by the combustion plants adapted for burning various combustible materials (firewood plants, pellets, briquettes, cogeneration). Biomass include biological material that can be used as fuel. Biomass is represented by plant organic matter, and microorganisms. Agricultural biomass includes by products of cultivated plants (straw, stems) [8, 9, 10]. Coal and crude oil as fossil fuels have their origins in the plant biomass of past eras. Studies by researchers have shown that biomass can be burned to generate heat and electricity. Biomass is biodegradable and renewable [17, 18, 19]
