Growing demand for energy and care about natural environment is the motivation to find alternative sources of energy. One of them is biomass from cherry and morello cherry stones, which is food processing industry waste. Stones have fairly good physical properties regarding material for combustion. Cherry and morello cherry crop in Poland is at the level of 200 thousand tons yearly, and processing them generates a considerable amount of waste that consists of stones, which may be used for energy purposes. In the work, the initial water content (u), curves of combustion in different temperatures, percentage ash content, heat of combustion and percentage share of stone in the whole fruit were determined.
Key words: biomass / cherry and morello cherry stones / drying / heat of combustion / ash
