Abstract

Many scientific works have been devoted to the use of wood waste in the energy sector, but most of them cover only logging waste, sawmilling and woodworking waste. There are not enough literary sources that disclose the issues of using wood waste from the entire construction complex, including solid municipal cellulose-containing waste. Insufficient attention has been paid to the preparation of fuel from wood waste, its supply to special power plants and combustion there.

This paper proposes technical and technological solutions for the procurement and further use of various types of wood waste, ways to improve power plants for generating energy from wood waste. At the same time, special attention is paid to the preparation and supply for burning wood chips from bush vegetation; the role of the pyrolysis process in the incineration of building complex waste, wood-based materials and boards; production and use of refined fuels from wood waste.

The article traces the path of development of small-scale power generation in Belarus using wood waste – from the use of firewood and wood chips to obtaining briquettes and pellets, obtaining energy from them at the facilities of Belarus.
