Biomass Utilization for Thermal Energy
Özet
With the depletion of fossil energy sources in sight, the importance of renewable sources of energy becomes one of the major conditions for permanently sustainable development not only in agriculture, but also in society as a whole. The main purpose of this paper is to provide necessary information about energy production of heat processed from agricultural wastes. Sixteen analyses of selected mixed wastes were carried out, especially in pellet form, in the framework of this research project. Each analysis was followed by stoichiometric calculations as well as by chemical composition and energy balance. According to the results, the most important factors are sulphur nitrogen and chlorine quantity in wastes, because of their influence on the final values of emissive concentrations. The main task of current activities in the research field is to find ways of decreasing air pollution.
