“…Biomass is a raw material that can come from woody crops, it can be biomass of whole plants, e.g., poplars [1,2] or a part of it, so far treated as waste [3,4]. The second source is agricultural crops in the form of targeted crops e.g., switchgrass [5] or virginia mallow and miscanthus [6] and crop residue e.g., bean straw [7]. With the currently existing restrictions on the use of firewood from forests and waste wood from industry, wider use is required for the production of solid biofuels from biomass from agriculture, mainly straw of different plants [8,9].…”

In Poland the use of solid biomass obtained from intentional plantations of energy plants is increasing. This biomass is most often processed into solid fuels. There are growing indications that renewable energy sources, in particular biomass production, will continue to develop, so the better we know the raw material, the more effectively we will be able to use it. The results of tests that determine the impact of compaction pressure on selected quality parameters of pellets made from selected biomass types are presented. Material from plants such as Giant miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus Greef et Deu), Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum L.), Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita (L.) Rusby) was studied. The compaction process was carried out using the SIRIO P400 hydraulic press with a closed chamber with a diameter of 12 mm. Samples were made in four pressures: 131; 196; 262; 327 MPa and three moisture levels: 8%, 11%, 14%. It was found that with increasing compaction pressure and moisture content up to a certain point, the density and durability of the pellets also increased. Each of the materials is characterized by a specific course of changes in the parameters tested.
