Analysis of energetic performance of vine biomass residues as an alternative fuel for Chilean wine industry

The chip pruning of five different vine-producing wines was physically characterized, and its energetic value was analyzed (calorific value and ashes content principally). The material with a better energy performance was established. TCO2 emissions of this wood biomass were compared with the pine pellet, which is the most currently used solid biofuel in this industry. In both cases, the material obtaining process was studied, along with the fuel production and transport required measured in TCO2 emitted per tons.
