Energy and moisture losses during poplar and black locust logwood storage

Abstract: 6The main problem with firewood production is the same as for other wood biofuels: storage. Usually, firewood is stored in logwood. The goal of this study was to determine the drying storage 8 dynamics of logwood used for firewood production under the typical work conditions forest 9 practise of southern Europe. Storage dynamics were evaluated for two different forestry tree species 10(poplar and black locust) with logwood disposed in uncovered piles for a period of 180 days 11 (March-September). In this study… Show more

“…In fact, black locust is the specie with the lowest moisture content after harvesting, thus requiring less energy consumption or shorter natural-air drying period before combustion [32]. The differences obtained in the moisture content after harvesting between poplar and black locust were similar to that found by Manzone [33], while the value determined for willow is similar to that found by Eisenbies et al [34]. In order to provide representative information about the effect of the specie, a one-way statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA, confirming whether the assumptions of normality and homogeneity of variance holds by means of Levene test) has been carried out (different letters (a, b and c) indicating significant differences between fuels for the studied property).…”

“…Woodchips produced from kiwi plantations are quite suitable for energy use. In fact, the moisture content of the woodchips is similar to forest-sourced hardwood (poplar) [55] and softwood (pine) [56] comminution. The kiwi HHV of 18.6 MJ•kg −1 is not only above the threshold stated in EN 14961-3 for energy-rich woods of 15.5 MJ•kg −1 [57], but also above that observed for tree species usually cultivated for woodchip production in Northwest Italy, including poplar, willow, and black locust [58].…”

“…Willows are grown as short rotation energy crops. The high calorific value of willow is about 18.7 MJ kg -1 [5], the ash content is up to 5 % [6]. Therefore, they can be widely used in various green technologies in the field of energy and chemistry across Europe, Northeast and Midwestern America and Canada [7].…”
