Analytical review and the results of experimental studies of plant biomass production and its usage as the environmentally-friendly local fuel is presented in this paper. The analytical review of experimental research results of energy plants preparation for burning and burning is given, evaluated and compared with the emissions of harmful substances into the air while burning these plants. There were presented and compared the experimental research results of determination the low power boiler efficiency and harmful emissions while burning of the energy plants, such as willows, black poplar and aspen hybrid, chopped by the drum choppers, and these plants burning was compared with ashen wood burning. The test is carried out in the laboratory low power boiler, which is designed to burn wood, wood briquettes and large chaff. After determination of harmful substances emissions into the environment it was concluded, that burning efficiency of energy plants was better and pollution concentration was lower when aspen hybrid and black poplar were used, bigger amount of pollutants were determined when willows was burned, and the biggest amount of pollutants was while burning of ashen wood.
