Only an efficient management of biomass can ensure the sustainability of the Portuguese Forest. This can be achieved by the use of biomass resources yet unexplored (shrubs) or by producing more biomass (energy crops). The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermochemical properties of various national wood species, exotic species, and shrubs, most representative of Portugal . 2 Methods The study assessed in national softwoods, national and tropical hardwoods and shrub species. For each species it was determined the gross calorific value-GCV (or higher heating value-HHV) and the following chemical properties: ash content, chemical composition (C, H, O, N, S), Micro and Macroelements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Cu, P) and halogens (F, Br, Cl). 3 Results Ulex europaeus Ulex europaeus Ulex europaeus Tojo Tojo Ulex europaeus Cytisus striatus Cytisus striatus Cytisus striatusTojo Tojo GROSS CALORIFIC VALUE ASH CONTENT Giesta Giesta Giesta Cytisus striatusGiesta Hakea sericea Hakea Hsericeaaquea Hakea Hsericeaaquea Hakea Hsericeaaquea Haquea Erica sp EricaErica s spp. Erica sp.
