Abstract:
Combustion is a common technique for energy production from different types of biomass as agricultural residues in order to reduce the environmental impacts. Much of the woody biomass used in combustion plants is supplied by the sector of agroforestry, in order to increase energy production from waste material. In Italy olive grove cultivations determines a production of agricultural residual biomass that corresponding to the 45% of the main tree crops and is considered an important biomass source from arboriculture. Therefore, it is important to identify wood chip qualities that are suitable for failure free and low emission combustion. In this investigation, olive wood chip was characterized and compared with other variety of wood chips, then was combusted and the emissions were measured. This work aims to characterize the emissions produced by combustion of olive wood chips that represents a scientific method and a useful tool for the recovery of agricultural lignocellulosic residues that could be used in farms and agro-energy districts in order to provide the disposal of waste biomass destined for open burning and uncontrolled combustion process.
