The authors conducted a series of studies to identify the possibility of using standard automatic solid fuel boilers with a retort burner for burning alternative fuel in the form of oats. In addition to the results obtained, the importance of the share of biofuels, their use in industry and their applications in smaller production plants was discussed. Coal has also been presented as a large shareholder in energy production, which we have to reckon with, but also that legal regulations will develop and emissions problems in the low-energy sector cannot be avoided.
