Introduction

The

global

consumption

of

energy,

which

is

generated

mainly

from

fossil

fuels,

is

increasing.

Fossil

fuels

are

also

the

main

feed-

stock

in

use

by

the

chemical

industry.

The

constant

increase

in

their

consumption

and

their

shrinking

resources

are

making

them

increasingly

expensive

(

IEA,

2012

).

For

example,

the

average

price

of

oil

supplied

by

OPEC

countries

increased

from

23

to

almost

110

USD

per

barrel

between

2001

and

2012

(

OPEC,

2013

).

Moreover,

their

production

and

use

causes

greenhouse

gas

emission,

with

a

consequent

increase

in

the

greenhouse

effect.

The

atmospheric

concentrations

of

greenhouse

gases

such

as

carbon

dioxide

(CO

2

),

methane

(CH

4

)

and

nitrous

oxide

(N

2

O)

have

all

increased

since

1750

due

to

human

activity.

In

2011,

the

concentrations

of

these

gases

exceeded

the

pre-industrial

levels

by

about

40%,

150%

and

20%,

respectively.

At

the

same

time,

global

average

temperatures

have

increased,

each

of

the

past

three

decades

being

warmer

than

previously

(

IPCC,

2013

).

These

changes

will

have

serious

environ-

mental

effects:

they

will

increase

droughts,

coral

bleaching

influence

crop

productivity.

Moreover,

they

have

a

dramatic

effect

on

ice

melting

in

polar

zones

and,

consequently,

rising

sea

levels

and

frequent

occurrences

of

abnormal

weather

conditions

(

Watson

and

Albritton,

2001

).

Global

efforts

have

been

made

to

slow

climate

change

and

growing

interest

has

been

focused

on

using

renewable

resources

to

replace

non-renewable

products

of

the

chemical

and

energy

industry,

which

have

an

adverse

impact

on

the

environ-

ment.

Biomass

has

enormous

potential

for

use

in

the

chemical

indus-

try.

It

is

a

source

of

a

large

number

of

chemical

components

and

products

manufactured

around

the

world.

Lignocellulosic

biomass

can

be

a

source

of

high-value

products,

such

as:

speciality

cellulose

and

vanillin.

Importantly,

they

can

be

produced

on

an

industrial

scale

in

a

profitable

way

(

Sjöde,

2013

).

Lignocellulosic

biomass

is

frequently

obtained

from

forest

wood

and

from

wood

industry

waste.

Directive

2009/28/EC

introduced

the

minimum

requirements

for

the

sustainability

of

solid

biomass,

such

as

a

ban

on

the

production

or

acquisition

of

biomass

in

pro-

tected

areas

of

unique

natural

value,

primeval

forests

or

areas

of

high

biodiversity

(

European

Commission,

2009

).

The

European

Union

also

intends

to

implement

sustainability

standards

for

solid

biomass

and

to

devote

more

attention

to

wood

products

originat-

ing

outside

its

borders

(

Simmet,

2013

).

Since

the

forest

resources

in

the

EU

are

limited

and

its

use

is

frequently

unsustainable

long-distance

transport),

lignocellulosic

biomass

produced

in

agri-

culture

is

of

increasing

interest.

Apart

from

agricultural

residues,

energy

crops

can

also

be

used

as

feedstock

in

energy

generation.

Such

crops

with

a

stable

yield

and

well-developed

cultivation

tech-

nology

include:

herbaceous

plants

(e.g.

Miscanthus

giganteus,

giant

reed,

Virginia

mallow)

as

well

as

short

rotation

trees

and

coppice

(e.g.

willow,

poplar,

black

locust)

(

Angelini

et

al.,

2009;

Borkowska

and

Molas,

2012;

Dini-Papanastasi,

2008;

Wang

and

MacFarlane,

2012

).

Trees

and

coppice

of

genus

willow

(Salix

L.)

can

be

grown

in

a

short-rotation

system.

Such

cultivation

produces

a

high

yield

of

dry

biomass,

which

ranges

from

10

to

20

Mg

ha

−1

year

−1

.

Among

the

characteristic

features

of

willow

crops

are:

uniform

chemical

composition

and

small

amounts

of

contaminants

and

undesirable

components

(

Stolarski

et

al.,

2013b

).

Therefore,

willow

is

a

high

quality

uniform

material,

which

can

be

harvested

and

subsequently

stored

before

delivery

to

a

biorefinery

as

needed.

Therefore,

wood

can

be

successfully

used

as

feedstock

in

an

integrated

multiproduct

biorefinery

(

García

et

al.,

2014;

Krzy ˙zaniak

et

al.,

2013;

Liu

et

al.,

2012;

Röser

et

al.,

2011

).

Many

studies

have

been

conducted

worldwide

on

inte-

grated

multiproduct

biorefineries.

Among

them

there

are

research

projects,

advanced

pilot

installations

and

operating

biorefineries.

Eurobioref

is

a

research

project

within

which

pilot

installations

are

developed

(

FitzPatrick

et

al.,

2010;

Menon

and

Rao,

2012;

Rødsrud

et

al.,

2012;

Star-COLIBRI,

2013;

Thomsen

et

al.,

2013

).

The

project

will

develop

a

new

highly-integrated

and

diversified

concept,

including

multiple

feedstocks

(including

lignocellulosic

biomass),

multiple

processes

(chemical,

biochemical,

thermochemical)

and

multiple

products

(aviation

fuels

and

chemicals).

This

flexible

approach

will

widen

biorefinery

implementation

to

the

full

geo-

graphical

range

of

Europe

and

will

offer

opportunities

to

export

biorefinery

technology

packages

to

more

local

markets

and

feed-

stock

hotspots

(

EuroBioRef,

2013

).

Biorefineries

set

up

as

part

of

the

project

will

use

material

obtained

from

oil

crops,

biowaste

and

lignocellulosic

crops.

The

choice

of

feedstock

will

be

suited

to

the

local

conditions.

The

aim

of

this

study

was

to

determine

the

chemical

composi-

tion

of

seven

varieties

and

of

willow

grown

in

Material

and

methods

2.1.

Field

research

A

willow

plantation

was

established

between

the

11th

and

20th

of

April

2010

at

the

Educational

and

Research

Station

in

Ł ˛e ˙zany,

owned

by

the

University

of

Warmia

and

Mazury

in

Olsztyn.

It

is

located

in

north-eastern

Poland

near

Samławki

village

(53

59

N,

21

05

E).

The

main

factor

in

the

field

experiment

are

three

varieties

and

four

clones

of

willow,

all

of

them

created

by

the

Department

of

Plant

Breeding

and

Seed

Production

of

the

University

of

Warmia

and

Mazury

in

Olsztyn:

The

plant

density

was

18,000

per

ha.

A

strip

planting

system

was

applied,

in

which

2

rows

in

a

strip

were

arranged

at

an

inter-row

distance

of

0.75

m,

with

an

inter-row

of

1.50

m

for

separation

from

the

next

2

rows

in

a

strip

(with

an

inter-row

distance

of

0.75

m,

etc.)

and

the

distance

between

the

plants

in

a

row

was

0.50

m.

After

the

third

year

of

growth,

in

December

2012,

willow

plants

were

harvested

with

a

Jaguar-Claas

harvester.

The

harvester

trans-

ported

the

chips

on

a

tractor

trailer.

The

trailer

with

chips

from

different

cultivars

was

subsequently

weighed

and

the

yield

of

fresh

biomass

was

calculated

(Mg

ha

−1

).

Next,

the

yield

of

dry

biomass,

(Mg

ha

−1

)

was

calculated

from

the

moisture

content

and

the

fresh

biomass

yield.

Biomass

samples

of

seven

willow

varieties

were

col-

lected

for

laboratory

analyses.

Fresh

chips

were

collected

from

a

tractor

trailer.

Subsequently,

chips

were

transported

on

a

tractor

trailer,

from

which

10

one-litre

primary

samples

of

chips

were

taken

from

random

places.

Then,

10

primary

samples

were

poured

into

one

container,

yielding

an

average

sample.

After

this

was

mixed,

a

3-litre

laboratory

sample

was

taken

and

transported

to

the

laboratory

of

the

Department

of

Plant

Breeding

and

Seed

Pro-

duction

of

the

UWM

in

Olsztyn.

Subsequently,

in

the

laboratory,

analytical

samples

were

made

and

each

attribute

was

determined

in

triplicate.

2.2.

Laboratory

analyses

The

biomass

moisture

content

was

determined

in

fresh

wil-

low

chips

in

a

laboratory,

with

the

drying

and

weighing

method

according

to

PN

80/G-04511.

The

biomass

was

dried

at

105

C

until

a

constant

mass

was

achieved.

After

drying,

the

biomass

samples

were

ground

in

an

IKA

KMF

10

basic

analytic

mill

using

a

0.25

mm

sieve.

The

ash

content

was

determined

in

the

prepared

analyti-

cal

samples

at

550

C

in

an

ELTRA

TGA-THERMOSTEP

automatic

thermogravimetric

analyser

with

the

standard

methods

as

follows:

ASTM

D-5142,

D-3173,

D-3174,

D-3175,

PN-G-04560:1998

and

PN-ISO

562.

Moreover,

the

higher

heating

value

of

dry

biomass

was

determined

in

an

IKA

C

2000

calorimeter

using

the

dynamic

method,

in

accordance

with

the

PN-81/G-04513

standard.

The

lower

heating

value

of

the

fresh

biomass

was

calculated

on

the

basis

of

the

higher

heating

value

and

moisture

content

of

the

biomass

(

Kopetz

et

al.,

2007

).

The

carbon,

hydrogen

and

sulphur

content

were

also

identified

by

means

of

an

ELTRA

CHS

500

automatic

analyser,

according

to

PN/G-04521

and

PN/G-ISO

35

standards.

The

nitrogen

content

was

determined

with

the

Kjeldahl

method,

using

a

K-435

unit

and

a

B-324

BUCHI

distiller

and

the

chlorine

content

using

the

Eschka

mixture.

All

of

the

analyses

were

performed

in

three

replications.

The

biomass

for

chemical

analyses

was

prepared

in

accor-

dance

with

PN-92/P-50092.

Samples

were

ground

in

a

laboratory

mill

(Fritsch

type

15)

using

a

sieve

with

1.0

mm

square

screens.

The

material

was

passed

through

brass

sieves

to

separate

the

0.5–1.0

mm

fraction.

The

chemical

composition

was

determined

with

standard

methods

applied

for

wood

chemical

analysis.

Before

determination

of

the

cellulose,

lignin

and

holocellulose

contents,

extraction

in

96%

ethyl

alcohol

was

performed

in

a

Soxhlet

appara-

tus

according

to

TAPPI

T

204

cm-07

(

Baeza

and

Freer,

2000;

Fengel

and

Wegener,

1989

).

Subsequently,

the

material

was

dried

under

laboratory

conditions

and

the

extracted

substances

(lipids,

waxes,

resins

and

others)

were

dried

at

103

±

2

C

and

the

contents

of

the

following

substances

was

determined:

cellulose

(with

the

Seifert

method)

(according

to

PN-92/P-50092),

lignin

with

the

Tappi

T

222

om-06

method,

using

72%

H

2

SO

4

,

pentosans

(with

Tollen’s

method)

(TAPPI

223

cm-01),

holocellulose

(using

sodium

chlorite,

accord-

ing

to

PN-75/50092)

(

Rowell,

2005

),

base-soluble

substances

(1%

aqueous

solution

of

NaOH)

according

to

TAPPI

T

212

om-07,

and

the

content

of

substances

soluble

in

cold

and

hot

water

(TAPPI

T

204

cm-07).

Hemicellulose

content

was

calculated

as

the

differ-

ence

between

the

content

of

holocellulose

and

cellulose.

However,

it

must

be

stressed

that

this

is

a

calculated,

theoretical

value.

Addi-

tionally,

pH

was

assessed

according

to

PN-Z-15011-1.

First,

50

g

of

the

resource

material

was

mixed

in

a

conical

flask

with

200

cm

3

of

distilled

water.

The

flask,

tightly

closed,

was

put

into

a

shaker

and

shaken

for

0.5

h.

It

was

then

left

for

1

h

and

the

contents

were

stirred

prior

to

the

pH

measurement.

All

of

the

tests

were

repeated

simultaneously

in

three

replications.

The

results

were

calculated

in

relation

to

wood

dry

matter.

2.3.

Statistical

analysis

The

results

of

the

tests

were

analysed

statistically

using

STA-

TISTICA

PL

software.

The

mean

arithmetic

values

and

standard

deviation

of

the

examined

features

were

calculated.

Homogeneous

groups

for

the

examined

characteristics

were

determined

by

means

of

an

Tukey

(HSD)

multiple

test

with

the

significance

level

set

at

p

<

0.05.
The

PCA

(Principal

Component

Analysis)

was

applied

to

evalu-

ate

the

thermophysical

and

chemical

features

of

the

biomass.

The

justifiability

of

the

analysis

was

confirmed

by

the

Bartlett’s

Test

of

Sphericity.

The

number

of

components

was

selected

based

on

Kaiser’s

criterion,

in

which

the

method

of

eigenvalues

(

i

)

larger

than

one

(>1).

Diagram

of

the

Component

Scores

for

the

first

two

PCs

were

presented

in

the

form

of

biplot.

The

PCA

analysis

did

not

include

hemicelluloses

because,

unlike

other

attributes

which

are

determined

by

laboratory

analyses,

it

is

a

subtraction

between

the

content

of

holocellulose

and

cellulose.

Its

analysis

in

PCA

results

in

a

singular

matrix

which

distorts

its

results.

Results

and

discussion

The

average

moisture

content

in

willow

stems

was

50.66%

(

lowest

ash

content

was

found

in

biomass

of

the

UWM

006

Salix

viminalis

clone

(1.04%

d.m.).

A

slightly

significantly

higher

ash

content

was

found

in

the

Turbo

and

Tur

varieties.

The

significantly

highest

ash

content

was

found

in

the

UWM

035

Salix

pentandra

clone

(1.60%

d.m.).

The

average

higher

heating

value

(HHV)

of

willow

biomass

was

19.50

MJ

kg

−1

d.m.

(

Table

).

The

homogenous

group

with

the

highest

HHV

included

the

Tur

vari-

ety,

the

UWM

035

Salix

pentandra

and

UWM

006

Salix

viminalis

clones.

The

HHV

for

them

was

19.54–19.58

MJ

kg

−1

d.m.

The

vari-

ability

of

the

feature

in

the

other

clones

may

be

regarded

as

small,

though

statistically

significant.

The

difference

between

the

Tur

vari-

ety

and

the

UWM

155

Salix

dasyclados

clone

with

the

lowest

HHV

was

0.22

MJ

kg

−1

d.m.

A

higher

diversity

between

the

clones

and

varieties

under

study

was

shown

to

exist

in

the

lower

heating

value

(LHV).

Its

average

value

was

8.38

MJ

kg

−1

(

Table

1

).

The

highest

LHV

was

determined

for

the

Tur

Salix

viminalis

variety

(9.16

MJ

kg

−1

).

The

second

homogeneous

group

included

the

UWM

035

Salix

pen-

tandra

clone

with

the

LHV

lower

by

0.50

MJ

kg

−1

.

The

other

clones

and

varieties

made

up

three

homogeneous

groups

with

LHV

values

ranging

from

8.42

to

7.77

MJ

kg

−1

.

The

elemental

composition

of

the

clones

under

study

and

the

willow

grown

in

the

three-year

harvest

system

is

shown

in

Table

2

.

The

average

carbon

content

in

the

biomass

was

50.76%

d.m.

The

significantly

highest

content

of

the

element

was

found

in

the

Tur

variety

(51.48%

d.m.).

The

carbon

content

in

the

other

varieties

and

clones

was

lower

by

1.15–3.48

percentage

points,

for

the

Start

variety

and

the

UWM

035

clone,

respectively.

The

average

hydrogen

content

was

6.11%

d.m.

It

was

signifi-

cantly

the

highest

in

the

Tur

variety

and

the

UWM

006

and

UWM

043

clones

(6.18–6.15%

d.m.).

The

average

nitrogen

content

was

0.47%

d.m.,

ranging

from

0.51%

d.m.

in

the

UWM

035

clone

to

0.43%

d.m.

in

the

Start

variety

and

the

UWM

006

clone.

The

willow

biomass

contained

a

small

percentage

of

sulphur,

whose

average

content

was

0.025%

d.m.

The

willow

varieties

and

clones

under

study

made

up

two

homogeneous

groups

in

which

the

sulphur

con-

tent

ranged

from

0.020

to

0.030%

d.m.

The

average

chlorine

content

was

also

low-0.019%

d.m.

It

was

the

significantly

highest

in

biomass

of

the

Start

variety

(0.028%

d.m.)

and

was

the

lowest

in

the

UWM

043

clone

(0.011%

d.m.).

The

thermophysical

properties

and

the

elemental

composition

of

the

willow

varieties

and

clones

under

study

are

typical

of

fresh

biomass

of

short

rotation

coppices

such

as

willow,

poplar

and

black

locust.

The

higher

heating

value

of

the

cultivars

under

study

was

within

the

limits

typical

of

SRC

and

hardwood

(

Klasnja

et

al.,

2002;

Van

Loo

and

Koppejan,

2008

).

This

parameter

largely

depends

on

the

carbon

and

hydrogen

content

in

biomass

and

it

is

much

lower

than

for

fossil

fuels.

The

moisture

content

in

the

three-year

stems

ranged

from

49.53%

to

53.18%.

In

other

studies,

it

was

shown

to

range

between

45%

and

60%,

depending

on

the

species,

harvest

time,

harvest

conditions

and

rotation

length

(

Kauter

et

al.,

2003;

Stolarski

et

al.,

2013a

).

Lignocellulosic

biomass

obtained

in

long

rotations,

i.e.

from

older

trees

and

coppices,

contains

less

moisture,

which

results

in

its

higher

LHV.

The

willow

biomass

moisture

con-

tent

may

be

twice

as

high

compared

to

herbaceous

energy

crops

and

straw,

which

is

important

for

selecting

the

method

of

its

conver-

sion

in

an

integrated

biorefinery

(

Clifton-Brown

and

Lewandowski,

2002

).

If

fresh

biomass

is

to

be

used

as

feedstock

for

manufacturing

chemical

products

from

hemicelluloses,

a

high

moisture

content

is

not

usually

an

obstacle

in

its

pre-processing.

However,

the

ther-

mal

and

thermochemical

conversion

may

be

hindered.

If

that

is

the

case,

logistical

solutions

should

be

sought

in

which

biomass

could

be

delivered

with

lower

moisture

content.

To

reduce

it,

one

can

har-

vest

whole

willow

stems

(two-stage

harvest),

which

can

later

be

seasoned,

which

results

in

a

moisture

content

decrease

by

20–30%

(

Gigler

et

al.,

2000;

Stolarski

et

al.,

2012

).

Thus

stored,

biomass

can

be

delivered

to

a

biorefinery

as

needed.

However,

a

two-stage

har-

vest

is

more

expensive

than

when

willow

is

harvested

in

one

stage.

In

one

stage

technology,

biomass

is

obtained

as

chips

which

are

not

too

good

for

storage.

Piles

of

such

wood

biomass

undergo

intensive

processes

of

microbiological

decomposition,

as

a

consequence

of

which

as

much

as

20–30%

of

wood

can

be

lost.

However,

moisture

content

in

the

biomass

will

still

be

high

compared

to

fossil

fuels,

such

as

coal,

which

is

a

hydrophobic

product.

Obviously,

biomass

can

be

processed

to

make

briquette

and

pellet

or

carbonised,

but

this

requires

additional

energy

outlays

and

increases

the

cost

of

biorefinery

feedstock.

A

short

rotation

willow

coppice

usually

contains

small

amounts

of

ash,

sulphur

and

chlorine,

much

less

than

the

biomass

of

herba-

ceous

energy

crops

and

agricultural

residues.

These

components

have

an

adverse

effect

on

the

thermal,

thermochemical

and

bio-

chemical

conversion

of

biomass.

Compared

to

willow,

herbaceous

crops

and

residues,

depending

on

the

species,

may

contain

as

much

as

6

times

more

ash

and

4

times

more

chlorine

and

sulphur

(

Greenhalf

et

al.,

2012;

Osowski

and

Fahlenkamp,

2006;

Stolarski

et

al.,

The

average

lignin

content

in

willow

biomass

was

25.52%

d.m.

Its

highest

content

was

found

in

the

Start

variety

(26.33%

d.m.).

The

same

homogeneous

group

with

the

statistically

highest

lignin

con-

tent

included

the

Tur,

Turbo

varieties

and

the

UWM

155

clone.

The

other

clones

made

up

a

homogeneous

group

with

lignin

contents

ranging

from

24.62%

to

24.98%

d.m.

Willow

wood

is

commonly

used

as

feedstock

in

the

production

of

heat

and

power,

chipboards,

hardboards,

paper,

cardboard,

etc.

(

Boyd

et

al.,

2000;

Surminski,

1990

).

Because

of

strong

competi-

tion

in

the

market,

these

products

are

widely

available

and

cheap.

Traditional

processes

for

paper

production

use

cellulose,

whose

content

in

wood

biomass

is

50%

d.m.

or

less.

Hemicelluloses

and

lignin,

in

the

paper

industry,

are

often

undesirable

waste,

which

is

nowadays

also

used

in

the

production

of

low-value

products

such

as

heat

or

process

steam.

The

aim

of

an

integrated

multi-

product

biorefinery

is

to

produce

the

highest

possible

volume

of

high-value

products

from

cellulose,

hemicelluloses

and

lignin.

The

production

of

low

value-products

is

a

secondary

priority.

Impor-

tantly,

practically

all

of

the

biomass

components

should

be

used

and

a

modern

refinery

should

produce

as

little

waste

as

possible.

High-value

products

made

from

lignocelluloses

include

speciality

cellulose,

used

in

the

manufacturing

of

cosmetics,

textiles,

pharma-

ceutical,

tyres

and

more.

Another

derivative,

not

less

important,

is

levulinic

acid,

which

is

a

precursor

of

many

pharmaceuticals,

plas-

ticizers

and

a

platform

for

biofuels.

Hemicelluloses

are

also

used

in

the

production

of

ethanol

and

furfural.

The

latter

can

be

used

as

a

feedstock

for

the

production

of

several

non-petroleum

derived

chemicals,

e.g.

furfuryl

alcohol,

methyltetrahydrofuran

and

furan

(

Bozell

and

Petersen,

2010;

Serrano

et

al.,

2012

).

Lignin,

whose

con-

tent

in

biomass

ranges

from

15%

to

30%,

is

very

difficult

to

process

due

to

its

properties.

It

is

often

burned

to

produce

heat

and

process

steam.

Currently,

it

is

increasingly

often

used

to

produce

syngas.

On

the

other

hand,

it

can

be

potentially

used

as

a

raw

material

for

manufacturing

high-value

products,

e.g.

vanillin,

biopoly-

mers

in

petro-chemistry,

pesticides

and

others

(

Doherty

et

al.,

2011

).

A

Bartlett

test

(U

=

912;

df

=

153;

p

=

0.000)

confirmed

that

the

use

of

PCA

method

to

analyse

the

thermophysical

and

chemi-

cal

properties

of

the

biomass

was

justified.

The

eigenvalues

and

Kaiser’s

criterion

were

used

to

select

5

factors,

which

explain

90.6%

of

the

total

variability

(

Table

5

).

The

Varimax

rotation

was

used

to

improve

the

(raw)

structure.

The

rotated

loadings

show

that

components

F1

and

F2

combined

explain

more

than

48%

of

the

vari-

ability

(24.5%

and

23.9%),

which

is

the

largest

part

of

explaining

the

variance

among

the

five

analysed

components.

Subsequent

factors,

i.e.

F4,

F3

and

F5,

contribute

decreasing

parts

of

the

variability

being

explained

they

equalled

18.6,

14.8

and

8.9,

respectively.

The

structure

of

factorial

loadings

(which

may

be

construed

in

a

similar

way

to

correlation

coefficients)

revealed

that

the

ther-

mophysical

properties

which

affect

the

energy

value,

such

as

LHV,

moisture

content,

HHV,

sulphur

and

carbon,

are

associated

with

F1

most

strongly.

The

following

interpretation

can

be

developed

from

these

loadings:

24.5%

of

variability

of

the

phenomena

arises

from

the

effect

of

moisture

content

on

the

other

parameters,

because

an

increase

in

moisture

content

(0.94)

is

accompanied

by

decreasing

LHV

(

−0.95),

HHV

(

−0.86)

and

(

−0.59),

and

increasing

sulphur

con-

tent

(0.76).

Subsequent

groups

F2

and

F3

in

separate

components

determine

the

features

of

chemical

composition

of

biomass.

F2

contributes

relatively

a

lot

to

explaining

variability

(23.9%)

and

it

is

most

strongly

associated

with

hot

water-soluble

substances

(0.94),

ethanol-soluble

substances

(0.87),

cold

water-soluble

sub-

stances

(0.85)

and

cellulose

(

−0.68).

On

the

other

hand,

F3

informs

about

the

association

of

chlorine

(

−0.93)

nitrogen

(0.84)

and

lignin

(

−0.66).

It

has

been

shown

that

18.6%

of

variance

results

from

the

effect

of

ash

content

(0.83)

on

the

content

of

hydrogen

(

−0.87)

and

holocellulose

(

−0.70).

The

last

of

the

factors

with

the

greatest

effect

Biplot

for

data

without

Varimax

rotation.

on

the

biomass

variability

is

the

presence

of

pentosans

(

−0.85),

which

explains

nearly

9%

of

variance.

Biplot

(

Fig.

1

)

shows

the

similarity

between

genotypes

in

regard

to

the

examined

features

(variables)

which,

owing

to

PCA,

were

assigned

to

five

coordinates

(F1,

F2,

F3,

F4,

F5).

In

order

to

make

interpretation

easy,

only

a

two-dimensional

presentation

of

coor-

dinates

F1

(PCA1)

and

F2

(PCA2)

was

made,

which

explains

the

highest

percentage

of

variance

(variability).

The

diagram

shows

that

the

genotypes

differed

in

terms

of

their

physical

and

chemical

properties.

The

UWM

043

clone

contained

the

highest

percent

of

cellulose.

The

UWM

035

clone

was

on

the

other

end

of

the

spectrum,

containing

a

small

percent

of

cellulose,

but

many

substances

soluble

in

1%

NaOH,

in

ethanol

as

well

as

in

cold

and

hot

water.

The

properties

of

clone

UWM

155

biomass

were

similar,

the

only

difference

being

its

higher

moisture

content.

On

the

other

hand,

the

Tur

variety

contained

a

high

percent

of

carbon,

it

had

a

high

LHV

and

low

moisture

content.

Among

all

tested

willow

cultivars,

the

highest

yield

was

given

by

the

clone

UWM

006.

The

UWM

043

clone

was

in

the

second

homogeneous

group.

Start

and

Turbo

varieties

were

allocated

to

the

third

homogeneous

group.

After

recalculation

of

obtained

results

to

one

year

of

plant

cultivation,

the

yield

of

ranged

from

2.79

to

14.23

−1

year

−1

d.m.

for

clones

UWM

155

and

respectively

(

The

of

holocellulose

in

the

biomass

of

the

was

5.50

A

standard

devia-

tion

(3.09)

indicates

that

great

variability

exists

between

the

yield

of

the

varieties

and

clones

under

The

significantly

highest

yield

of

holocellulose

was

harvested

with

the

biomass

of

the

UWM

006

clone

(10.84

Mg

It

was

higher

by

over

22%

than

that

of

the

The

statistically

lowest

content

of

this

substance

was

found

in

the

plants

of

the

and

the

The

and

can

be

obtained

from

the

high,

which

will

reduce

the

cost

of

production,

and

trans-

port

of

biomass

and,

in

consequence,

the

cost

of

for

a

biorefinery.

These

willow

cultivars

were

tested

for

integrated

biorefineries

in

the

regions

of

Europe

in

which

sufficient

amounts

of

biomass

can

be

produced.

The

area

of

cultivation

of

energy

crops

in

Poland

is

10,202

ha,

with

willow

and

poplar

SRC

being

cultivated

on

6,810

ha.

Along

with

the

average

yield

of

cellulose

and

hemicelluloses

(the-

oretical

value),

it

will

total

over

22,300

tonnes

of

cellulose

and

nearly

15,200

tonnes

of

hemicelluloses

a

year.

The

yield

of

those

substances

would

be

twice

higher

if

biomass

was

obtained

by

grow-

ing

the

UWM

006

Salix

viminalis

clone.

A

still

higher

yield

could

be

obtained

on

better

soils

than

in

this

experiment.

Other

studies

which

involved

the

cultivation

of

SRC

on

good

quality

soils

in

Poland

leads

one

to

the

conclusion

that

the

amount

of

biomass

from

a

com-

mercial

willow

plantation

in

Poland

could

be

still

higher

(

Stolarski

et

al.,

2013a

).

It

is

noteworthy

that

the

soils

suitable

for

growing

energy

crops

in

Poland

cover

an

area

of

569,000

ha.

These

are

soils

of

lower

usability

for

growing

food

crops.

If

willow

were

grown

on

soils

with

lower

usability

for

cultivation

of

perennial

energy

crops,

the

total

potential

area

of

soils

usable

for

willow

cultivation

would

be

as

high

as

954,000

ha

(

Ku´s

and

Faber,

2007

).

This

would

provide

a

yield

of

over

3.1

million

tonnes

of

cellulose

and

over

2.1

million

tonnes

of

hemicelluloses.

Some

large

wood

processing

companies

have

already

appreciated

the

possibility

of

obtaining

high

cellu-

lose

yield

from

biomass

of

short

rotation

coppices.

For

example,

International

Paper

Kwidzyn

(Poland)

is

interested

in

increasing

the

area

of

willow

and

poplar

commercial

plantations

for

indus-

trial

purposes.

So

far,

the

company

has

set

up

about

2000

ha

of

SRC

plantations.

4.

Conclusion

The

biomasses

of

the

willow

cultivars

under

study

had

good

thermophysical

compositions

and

they

contained

only

small

amounts

of

undesirable

components,

such

as

ash,

sulphur

or

chlo-

rine.

However,

the

high

moisture

content

in

the

fresh

biomass

may

be

a

problem.

The

content

of

cellulose

and

hemicelluloses

in

biomass

of

the

UWM

006

and

UWM

043

clones

of

Salix

viminalis

L.

makes

them

highly

useful

for

an

integrated

multi-product

biorefin-

ery,

based

on

lignocellulosic

raw

material.

The

quantity

of

cellulose

and

hemicelluloses

which

can

be

currently

provided

from

the

exist-

ing

SRC

plantations

in

Poland

for

biorefineries

should

not

be

less

than

37,000

tonnes;

in

the

future

it

could

potentially

be

up

to

5.2

million

tonnes

a

year.
