Abstract

The majority of the timber of invasive wood species is used as fuel wood, as it is a forestry objective to control their spread. Knowledge of the higher heating value and ash content are important parameters for the use of wood for energy. In terms of these two parameters, the Russian olive does not lag behind other invasive species. The ash content of its timber is very low, only 2.7%, while its higher heating value is 19.2 MJ/kg. Its ash content is only a quarter of that of black locust, while there is no difference between their higher heating values. The use of Russian olive for energetical purposes is advisable as far as the properties examined are concerned, and it is in no respect inferior to other wood species.
