ABSTRACT
Biomass is a kind of fuel that is more and more often used in the energy industry. It supplements coal
and allows it to meet the requirements of producing “green” energy and limit CO2 or sulphur emissions.
Research refers to the ash originated from the combustion of the lignite with and without the wood biomass
in the CFB boiler. This article shows the results of research into physical-chemical properties of fly ash
obtained from the combustion of the lignite with and without the wood biomass (wood pellet). The possibilities
of the use of this ash include in suspension technologies widely used in coal mines.
