From a viewpoint of environmental preservation and resource protection, the recycling of wastes has been promoting. Expectations to new energy resource are growing by decrease of fossil fuel. Biomass has attracted considerable attention as new energy without global warming. This study is an attempt to thermally recycle woody biomass fuel made from waste products of forestry and lumbering industry. Pyrolysis and combustion behavior of woody biomass are affected considerably by kinds of material and treatment on making as fuel. The pyrolytic characteristics of woody biomass samples were investigated by the thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) to obtain fundamental data of biomass utilization. The results indicated that the weight of all samples decreased during two stages with endothermic reaction during pyrolysis and combustion process.
