dc.description.abstractn the pulp and paper industry in Iberian Peninsula there is an intensive use of eucalyptus globulus that has a fast growth and a high productivity. There are large areas of forest dedicated to its growth. After 9 to 12 year rotation cycles trees are cut and the stumps are left in the fields. After 2 or 3 harvesting cycles these tree stumps are removed from the fields and considered low value biomass wastes. This corresponds to depletion on organic matter and of valuable minerals related to soil fertility. The use of these biomass wastes in thermochemical conversion processes like gasification or combustion may be a valuable alternative solution as it allows taking profit of these wastes energetic content. The solid by-products obtained by thermal conversion (ashes) may be incorporated in soils to return the valuable minerals and to ensure a good forest management system. Stumps removed from eucalyptus stands were used in combustion trials to improve the burning conditions and in gasification tests with different experimental conditions to obtain syngas suitable to be used in furnaces (chemical recover) of pulp industries. Stumps combustion and gasification processes were compared in terms of stumps energetic valorisation, gaseous emissions and gasification gas utilisation. pt_PT
