The substitution of biomass for fossil fuels is one of the main worldwide challenges, which may contribute to the achievement of declared obligations of renewable energy usage. This trend, however, brings about a serious global drawback – energy crops seize forests and soils areas used for food production. In order to prevent this disadvantage, energy crops can be grown on unused soils in industrial agglomerations and brownfields. Some plants have a natural ability to uptake soil pollutants into their tissues; the most obvious is their ability to uptake heavy metals. Thus, on one hand, the biomass will decontaminate these areas, on the other hand, it will contain increased amount of heavy metals and subsequently has to be treated with respect to the minimization of heavy metals re-insertion into the environment. The fate of heavy metals during fluidized bed combustion of contaminated biomass is studied in this paper.
