Abstract:
The use of biomass from pruning fruit trees to obtain biofuel pellets can be an interesting alternative in Southern Europe, generating added value in rural areas and favoring the development of the circular economy and green economy. The main characteristics of the plum pruning biomass have been studied from the energy point of view for its application as a solid biofuel in the form of pellets, analyzing the variables that determine the quality following EN standards. The results obtained in the quality parameters show that it is possible to obtain quality pellets of biomass from pruning of fruit trees.
