Using Wood Waste in Slovakia and its Real Energy Potential

Abstract:

Energy production from previously unused wood waste, which is produced by mining and manipulation in forestry, wood processing plants and in plants and also more efficient energy recovery firewood in the total amount of about 500 000 t, can annually replace the same amount of brown sorted coal. This has a significant national- economic importance in saving precious fuel but the financial effect greatly exceeding the environmental- ecological benefits resulting from the reduction of environmental burdens, exhausts and incombustible solid residues. These are only a few advantages and also the reasons why it is necessary especially at present days to deal with biomass and wood waste as well. The article therefore outlines a comparison of the previous use of this energy source as well as its possible future development.
