“…Trávníček et al (2015) and Muzikant et al (2010) both state that for energetic purposes it is appropriate to use wood with a moisture content of up to 20% by weight, which is air-dry. Fresh wood has a moisture content of 30-50% (Mikulová et al 2014). Also in the vineyard, Souček (2007) claims moisture between 40-50%, according to Muzikant et al (2010) it is between 15-50% and according to Manzone et al (2016) it is approximately 50%.…”

Burg P., Mašán V., Dušek M., Zemánek P., Rutkowski K. (2017): Review of energy potential of the wood biomass of orchards and vineyards in the Czech Republic. Res. Agr. Eng., 63 (Special Issue): S1-S7.The most important sources of biomass energy are currently coming from agricultural activity. A sizeable portion in production areas is waste wood after the winter cut of orchards and vineyards, which cover areas exceeding 30,000 ha in the Czech Republic. The most important are species like apples, peaches, apricots, plums, sweet cherries, sour cherries and grapevines. Average production of wood mass for individual species of fruit trees and grapevines ranges from 1,540 kg/ha up to 6,762 kg/ha, i.e. 1.5 t/ha to 6.8 t/ha. The calorific value for these species ranges from 14.70 to 16.39 MJ/kg, with moisture between 6 and 8%. The results show that the total measured energy potential of the fruit species-cultivated areas is 1,469.7 TJ for the whole Czech Republic.
