dc.description.abstract	In the last decades efforts have been made to replace fossil fuels by more sustainable feedstocks for the production of energy. A way to increase the travelable distance of this feedstock is to increase its energy content. The objective of this work was to study the increase in the calorific value of two of the most important wood species in the central region of Portugal, a softwood, (Pinus pinaster Ait) and a hardwood (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.), by mild torrefaction. The treatment was made in an oven during 2 -24 hours and temperatures from 170ºC to 190ºC. Calorific value and insoluble lignin were determined. Results show that there is an increase in the HHV (High Heating Value) of both pine and eucalypt samples (higher in eucalypt) and that the increase is higher for higher treatment times. A good correlation between the amount of lignin and the HHV was found.	pt_PT
