Biomass has become a major source of renewable energy. The basic fuel properties of woody biomass from orchards were evaluated on the following fruit tree wood obtained from pruning operations: ‘Reliance’ peach, ‘Burlat’ cherry, ‘Packham’s Triumph’ pear, ‘Early Geneva’ apple, hazel (Polish variety Halle), ‘Hargrand’ apricot, walnut, domestic plum (Polish variety Wegierka), and sour cherry (variety Ujfehertoi furtos). The research included the wood and bark of the trunk, whole limbs, and branches. Gross calorific value for the majority tested biomass ranged from 19.2 to 21.3 MJ / kg, which is typical for wood and bark of broadleaf species. The low content of chlorine and sulfur in the analyzed samples would contribute to low corrosion in boilers and a low atmospheric pollution factor for generated sulfur oxides and hydrogen chloride. Properties of fuel biomass obtained from pruning operations were not noticeably different from the typical properties of solid biofuels derived from woody forest biomass. Based on these results, biomass from orchards can be a substitute for raw forest material suitable for energy use.
