Straw and wood chips are the most abundant biofuels in Denmark, and an overview of fuel composition in comparison with coal is given. The high content of potassium and chlorine in straw causes a number of serious technical problems in power production plants, and therefore the possibility of reducing the content of potassium and chlorine in straw was investigated. Cultivation trials were established in the growing seasons of 1993 and 1994. In the first part of the project, the way in which different cultivation factors influence the chemical composition of straw was investigated. Selected samples of grain were also analysed. In the second part of the project, the influence of chlorine supply with fertilizers on straw composition was studied. There was no correlation between the content of potassium and chlorine in straw, soil type, nitrogen and potassium fertilizer dose, pesticide dose and geographic location. There is a strong correlation between chlorine content in straw and supply of chlorine with fertilizer. The content of potassium and chlorine is dependent on the variety. Rain after harvest leaches significant amounts of potassium and chlorine from straw lying in the field. Grain has a lower content of ash, K, Ca, Si, and Cl than straw, but a higher content of N.
