Calorific value
The calorific value is the amount of heat
generated by a given fuel mass when it is
completely burned and it is measured with
a socalled bomb calorimeter.
The higher or gross calorific value and lower or
net calorific value (qgr and qnet ,respectively)
can be found via the calorific
value measured in the bomb calorimeter.

Peat properties
Peat is an organic deposit formed from the
accumulation of decomposed remains of
plants in the oxygenpoor environment of
excess water. Peat consists mainly of
partially decomposed remains of plants
and humus. The most essential indices of
peat are decomposition degree, moisture
content, mineral (ash) content, density and
calorific value.
Although peat is of biological origin, it is not
considered a renewable biofuel usually, but
