The world economy in the production of electricity and heat, is increasingly based on the use of renewable energy sources to replace partially or totally fossil fuels. Biofuels provide an opportunity for energy production in many sectors while maintaining ecological conditions. Having regard to energy security in all regions of the country and the guarantee of sufficient resources for energy production, it must be constantly searched for new and locally available raw materials for the production of environmentally friendly fuel, whose physicochemical parameters will fully implement efficient combustion or incineration. Fruit processing plants offer post-production waste, which can be used as biomass. At the turn of the last years they developed a number of kilns, whose aim is to get the plant product with a humidity below 15%. Laboratory tests conducted at Kielce University of Technology, demonstrated the possibility of using agro biomass as a component of the mixtures of waste wood for their energy efficiency. Analytical moisture, heat of combustion, calorific value, and ash participation were analyzed. It has shown the difference in the residue of the same mixture at two temperatures of incineration. The possibility of increasing the amount of biomass as a renewable source of energy becomes a reality, both in industry and in private farms. To stop the process of environmental pollution, which has recently been intensified more and more, one should be more broadly interested in the use of post-production waste of plant origin, available on the domestic market.
