The comprehensive study of the process of thermal decomposition of fuel pellets from Heracleum Sosnowskyi biomass was carried out. Kinetic parameters of the process were determined based on thermo-gravimetric analysis in comparison with a sample of wood pellets from coniferous wood. The biomass of heracleum Sosnowskyi was collected in the village of Vylgort, Komi Republic, dried to atmospheric-dry state, ground to mean diameter dm<0.25 mm. The elemental composition, the content of the main components, the value of the thermal effect of the initial plant raw materials are determined. The features of the thermal decomposition of samples are established. Kinetic studies of samples pressed at 10 kN were carried out in air environment at heating rate of 5, 10 and 15 °C/min in the temperature range from 25 to 1000 °C using differential methods of Friedman and Ozawa-Flyn-Wall. Comparative analysis of softwood pellets and fuel pellets of hogweed Sosnowskyi confirmed the possibility of using the latter as an independent energy fuel, and as an additive to pellets without significantly reducing their quality characteristics. The results of the presented studies can be used to develop technology and equipment for burning fuel pellets for the purpose of rational extraction of thermal energy.
