Consideration upon Superior Exploitation of Small Wood and Wood Waste for Energy Production

Abstract

The waste resulting after wood harvesting (branches, tree peaks, thin wood, etc.) represents about 15% of harvesting wood potential. Till now, this energetic potential hasn’t been valorized. The paper presents the main products obtained after wood decomposition: methanol, charcoal, formic acid, and different types of resins. The operation principle of the flasks and their efficient heating is also presented, taking into consideration the use of small flasks, suitable for being transported to forest cutting areas.
