Abstract
Abstract Biomass is a potential biofuel which may help fighting high carbon dioxide emissions and negative impacts of global warming. Analysis of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) were performed at the laboratory of Czech University of Life Sciences. Material was torrefied in an inert nitrogen atmosphere at the temperatures of 250 °C and 280 °C for 45 minutes. Elementary and stoichiometric parameters were monitored and impact of torrefaction and pellet production on carbon footprint was determined. Torrefied and pelleted material showed better fuel properties in comparison to the original material. Calorific value of the torrefied spruce wood chip increased by 12.27% when torrefied at the temperature of 250 °C, and by 25.41% when torrefied at the temperature of 280 °C.
期刊介绍：
Acta Technologica Agriculturae is an international scientific double-blind peer reviewed journal focused on agricultural engineering. The journal is multidisciplinary and publishes original research and review papers in engineering, agricultural and biological sciences, and materials science. Aims and Scope Areas of interest include but are not limited to: agricultural and biosystems engineering; machines and mechanization of agricultural production; information and electrical technologies; agro-product and food processing engineering; physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic, soil working machinery and terramechanics; renewable energy sources and bioenergy; rural buildings; related issues from applied physics and chemistry, ecology, economy and energy.
