Use of plant biomass in energy production is one of the preconditions to compensate growing shortage of fossil energy resources. The research covered production of pellet samples and testing of quality parameters thereof. Objective of the study was research of hemicellulose indicators in osier and poplar pellets, lignin content in perennial crops (depending on fertiliser types, norms), parameters characterising pellet mixtures, evaluation and optimisation thereof depending on proportions of pellet components, as well as characterisation of lignocellulose parameters.
