The main research field of the Environmental monitoring laboratory is performance of solid fuel tests.

We offer determination of the following fuel parameters according to LVS CEN/TS standards:
- moisture content,
- ash content,
- highest calorific value,
- lowest calorific value,
- bulk density.

Additional parameters that can be determined for pellets are:
- mechanical durability,
- particle size distribution, amount of fines (<3,15 mm).

It is possible to determine the amount (weight percent) of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen in solid fuels using gas chromatography analysis.

The laboratory is also equipped to make performance tests for low capacity heating boilers. The parameters that are determined by this approach are:
- Boiler efficiency (using direct and indirect methods),
- Composition and parameters of flue gases (O2, CO2, CO, NOx, PM, temperature),
- Water flow parameters (temperature, flow rate, heating capacity),
- Fuel consumption.

The main task of the Cliamate Technology Laoratory is to reduce climate changes applying new technological approaches: use of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, biofuel), efficient energy use at the energy producer side, in energy transportation, and at end-user side.

Teh lab's team has a long experience in heating boiler energy efficiency improvement, energy efficiency increase in industrial processes, and in the field of lighting energy efficiency.
