“…Including some medium-sized wood (2 million m 3 ) purchased by individual recipients for fuel in the calculation, a value of 0.76 m 3 ha −1 is obtained. A similar harvest of fuel wood has been observed in Serbia-0.55 m 3 ha −1 [12]. In contrast, a much higher value of 0.82-1.00 m 3 ha −1 was obtained in Moldova [34].…”

“…The share of solid biomass in the overall structure of RES in Poland is as high as 68%, of which over 90% is woody biomass [11]. Similarly, in Serbia [12], Sweden [9], and Finland [8], forest biomass is the main source of RES. In Poland, among all kinds of woody biomass acquired for energy purposes, the largest amount is wood directly obtained from forests.…”

Forest biomass is and will remain a primary source of renewable energy in many EU countries in the coming years. The aim of this study was to determine the energy potential of forest biomass on a regional scale with regard to the needs of its inhabitants in terms of electricity and heat consumption. The study was carried out in south-eastern Poland. Energy potential was calculated based on the determined wood mass and calorific value of wood. The current level of forest biomass acquisition satisfies 4.2% of the needs of the local market in terms of electricity and heat consumption. Taking into account high forest cover of the region (40%), the 60% annual increment of total harvesting, and obtaining biomass at the level of 30% of the total harvesting, waste wood from the forest can meet 58.1% of the needs of the local market in terms of electricity consumption and 14.4% of the need for thermal energy consumption. There is a certain niche in the fuel wood market that is currently unused, presenting the opportunity to develop this sector and generate additional jobs in local markets. However, the increase in obtained forest biomass must be in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

“…With age, the time when trees can sustain timber production remains an open question (Sillett, et al, 2015;Tollefson, 2017;Wu, et al, 2016;Ranaivoson, et al, 2017), Biomass is a renewable energy source that can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels for the production of heat energy. Wood biomass is currently the most energy-efficient energy source (Janevski, 2016;Organization, 2002). Using woody biomass as an energy source for social, economic and environmental aspects, it has been found that burning wood particles is beneficial (Nishiguchi and Tabata, 2016;Gołos and Kaliszewski, 2015), thermochemical conversion of biomass is a promising technology because biomass is an environmentally friendly fuel (Eseyin et al, 2015), Wood's lignocellulosic biomass is abundant, natural and renewable materials, and forest residues are the changes in bark ash content of post-harvest and post-harvested wood (including tree tops and bark) compared to wood parts (Abdul Halim and Yong, 2017;Haruna and Hanafiah, 2018).…”

This paper analyzes the organic solvent extracts of Aesculus chinensis Bunge Bark using TG and Py-GC-MS. The pyrolysis products were analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the extracts of Aesculus chinensis Bunge Bark contain a large number of biologically active components, including hydrocarbons, acids, ethers, alcohols, and phenols. The main components in the extract of Aesculus chinensis Bunge Bark are healthy and abundant; the main representatives of the active ingredients are Scopoletin Vanillin, Eugeno, Pyridine, p-Cresol, Indoles, Maltol and Furfural. There are potential applications in bioenergy, biopharmaceuticals, cosmetics, skin care products, and spices.

“…For example, Janevski et al (Janevski, Stojanovic, Lakovic, & Mitrovic, 2016) researched the potential and possibilities of wood biomass in Serbia (with particular reference to the south eastern region of Serbia), which is important for further development of the renewable energy sector. Danon et al (Danon, Furtula, & Mandi, 2012) analysed using wood residues from wood industry for CHP (combined heat and power) with an aim to determine the economic feasibility of CHP in Serbia in the light of newly adopted feed in tariffs.…”
