In the research, possibilities of linseed as a fuel constituent were evaluated by the following indicators: carbon content, sulphur content, and gross calorific value. The object of the research was the linseed variety ‘Scorpion’. The trials were carried out in humi–podzolic gley soil during the period 2008-2010. Complex fertilizer was applied before sowing; N fertilizer rates – N0 kg ha-1 as control, N60, N80, and N100 kg ha-1. The research shows (p is less than 0.001) that the sulphur and carbon content and the highest calorific yield are influenced by the agrometeorological conditions of the growth year and by the N fertilizer. Various plant sections (stems, shives, and the chaff) were observed to have differing carbon and sulphur contents. Regarding the data of calorific yield results from one hectare, the year 2009 was more favourable than 2010. Taking all factors into consideration, for solid fuel output it is best to use linseed residue material.
