Abstract: We present results on upgrading of wood and briquettes by means of torrefaction. The torrefied products showed significantly less smoking during combustion and a relatively faster rate of combustion. The weight and energy yeilds of torrefied wood are 66.7–83.3 and 76.5–89.6%, respectively; the corresponding values for sawdust briquettes are 76.3–93.8 and 83.1–95.3%, respectively.
