Abstract

The applicability of fallen leaves as a raw material for the production of solid briquette fuel was assessed. In the course of a laboratory study performed with the use of the raw material gathered within the city of Novosibirsk, test samples were obtained and their properties were characterized. A conclusion on the applicability of the new form of solid biofuel was made.
