Abstract

This study presents the thermogravimetric analysis results of various samples of vineyard pruning residues from Rakvice Stand in the Moravian viticultural region. The samples of Welschreisling, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürztraminer, and Palava were investigated in several heating-isotherm steps. Based on the results, three of these samples were found to not meet the conditions for the B category (≤3%) according to the EN ISO 17225 in terms of ash content. Only the Palava sample showed 2.76% of ash content in dry matter, which makes it suitable for technological applications, such as combustion in small residential biomass boilers. Considering the other samples, the results indicate that it is more appropriate to combust them as a part of mixture with added content of different wood biomasses.
