Assessment of the energy and ecological potential of populus and alnus incana chips

Abstract

   Wood is the most widely used renewable energy resource, so there is a growing interest in biofuel energy sources. Along with the energy use of waste from wood processing, the question arises of involving fast-growing wood species, which include populus, alnus incana, etc., in the energy balance of deciduous wood settlements. A comprehensive study of the efficiency of the Firematic 60 hot-water boiler when working on populus and alnus incana chips was carried out. The elemental composition of burned fuels and resulting ash was studied using an EDX-8000 X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and a Euro EA-3000 analyzer. The components of the heat balance and the emission of harmful substances have been determined. Emissions of particulate matter and their soot content were studied. The size, shape and composition of soot particles were determined using a Zeiss SIGMA VP scanning electron microscope. An energy survey showed that this hot water boiler provides high energy-economic indicators and minimal emissions of harmful substances into the environment when burning wood biofuel chips of a homogeneous composition. An assessment was made of the possible reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by replacing imported coal with biofuels based on populus and alnus incana.
