Fire Safety Aspects of Wood as a Renewable Energy Source

Abstract:

In the paper we introduce the results of dendromass quantification in Presov region to be used as a renewable energy source for heating purposes in this region. To map and quantify the dendromass volume we used the tools provided by ArcGIS environment. This study is completed with investigation of dendromass basic fire parameters – heat of combustion, calorific capacity that are directly related to its energetic potential to be used as a renewable energy source.
