AB  - The reduction of world`s fossil fuel reserves, as well as concern environmental pollution,
encourages the use of renewable energy sources. In the Republic of Serbia, biomass from
agriculture represents a significant energy potential. The aim of this paper was to examine the
possibility of using tobacco stalks as biofuels, considering that each year, after the harvest of
leaves, about 70 000 tons of stalks from all tobacco types remains in the fields. The material used
in this study were Burley tobacco stalks, sawdust from beech wood and wheat straw, which were
chosen due to the fact that they are already in use as biofuel. In the first part of the experiment the
ash content in all samples was determined, which is used to predict the higher heating value
(HHV). The HHV as a function of ash content (ash, wt %) was calculated using the equation by
Sheng and Azevedo. The experimental determination of the calorific value of all samples in a
calorimetric bomb was conducted in the second part of the study. Based on predicted (18208.18
kJ/kg) and experimentally determined HHV of tobacco stalks (17504.44 kJ/kg), as well as
comparisons with other forms of biomass, it was concluded that Burley tobacco stalks can be
used as biofuel. Experimental values of tobacco stalks are only 9% lower in relation to HHV of
beech sawdust. Tobacco stalks and wheat straw have the approximate values of HHV.
