Analysis of the Energy Parameters of Selected Biomass and Biochar Types and the Environmental Impact of Their Ashes

Abstract The study determined the similarities and differences between fuel properties of different types biomass (triticale oat straw; bark: oak, alder, hornbeam, pine) biochar (municipal waste biochar, composting pellet Fluid’s biochar). Bulk actual densities moisture contents, ash amounts, elemental composition (C, H, N) were determined, calorific value, heat combustion porosity substances studied calculated. In addition, physico-chemical ashes determined. All tested have high energy potential can be used as biofuel. had best due to highest value combustion, well carbon content, with a small amount ash. Varying obtained still poses problem in developing methods for their management.
