In this paper, the energetic potential of organic wastes after wine and olive oil production will be investigated, with purpose of obtaining thermal energy. By laboratory pelleting of these organic wastes, a product of high density and better volumetric energy value will be produced, which will result in decrease of transport and storing costs, and better combustion quality when producing thermal energy. The quality of such pellets as biofuel cannot be defined without determining their physical and chemical properties, namely combustion characteristics. The energetic potential of wine grape and olive cake will be determined as well as the possibility for its utilization as an energy-generating product in producing thermal energy.
