The paper presents the results of research on obtaining fuels derived from plant biomass that will be able to replace traditional fossil fuels. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of co-firing different types of woody biomass with peat in a small power combustion chamber. Sawdust from conifers, wood chips from willow, postconsumer wood ("old furniture"), peat and fuels derived from woody materials mixed with peat in a 1:1 ratio were tested. It has been found that the combustion of fuel blends involving different types of woody biomass and peat resulted in a reduction of adverse effects observed during the combustion of pure peat (low amount of carbon-monoxide in the exhaust gases). In the case of solid biofuels from chemically treated biomass (old furniture), the share of peat in the fuel blends caused a decrease in the content of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases in comparison to fuels containing 100% "old furniture".
