Abstract

The study investigated the physical and chemical properties of wood pellets from coppice of intensively cultured tropical hardwoods viz., Gmelina arborea, Acacia mangium and Paraserianthes falcataria. Proximate, ultimate and elemental analyses were performed to assess fuel properties of pellets from coppice feedstock. In general, physical and chemical properties of pellets from coppice biomass were within recommended limits for class A2 pellets under EN 14961-2. Pellets from coppice of tree species used in this study showed good potential for compressed solid fuel for industrial and residential heating applications.
