Biomass makes an important potential alternative to fossil fuel by the heating process. There is no possibility of using biofuels without a judgment of their influence on environment. Knowledge of biomass burning characteristics is also very important before its use. This study was mainly focused on gas emissions of briquette biofuels. Burned fuels were formed to brickets of a 65 mm diameter and CO2, CO, O-2, NO, NO2, SO2, and HCl concentrations checked. Air surplus coefficient (n) of other values of heating characteristics were also measured. The highest ranges of value were achieved by combustion of energy sorrel.
