Abstract

This article describes the energy potential of residual biomass from wood to be used in a steam boiler as substitute fuel; resulting in a clean energy alternative against dependence on oil use in these devices. Further, information details the industry that provides wood waste, its varying forms of presentation, their physical and energetic properties; such as: the calorific value according to the moisture content and weight equivalence of each biomass sample to replace the fossil fuels currently used by steam boilers. Finally, based on the results obtained, a thermodynamic analysis is performed on the occurrences in the boiler when used with residual biomass, giving us answers to its energy balance, exergy balance and entropy calculation; thus providing reference data to the use of residual biomass as a valid alternative in new sources of renewable energy.
