| 12. Agricultural and forest biomass
as feedstock in the manufacture of solid biofuels - Mariusz Stolarski, Łukasz Graban, Stefan Szczukowski, Józef Tworkowski Abstract. The study involved 15 types of pellets produced from biomass from agricultural, forestry and production residues. The aim of this study was to determine moisture, ash content, calorific value and net calorifi c value of biofuels. Pellet made from pure wood sawdust was characterized by the best quality in terms of value of energy (the highest calorific value and the lowest ash content) and met the requirements of DIN 51731. The calorific value of pellets from agricultural residues was lower by about 10% and its ash content almost 900% higher than that of postproduction sawdust. Pellets from biomass of perennial crops and production residues, despite their fl aws, are likely to be future-attractive, renewable biofuels, in particular for applications in power industry and municipal heating. key words: biomass, energy crops, post-production residues, pellets, ash content, calorific value |
