Abstract
This study presents the fuel properties and elemental composition of Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn wood, obtained from seven different areas of Bangladesh. It was evaluated to determine its potential utilisation as a biomass fuel; its elemental components were evaluated to determine the wood's value as a soil improver when used as ash or allowed to decompose in soil. Results indicated the varying suitability of Seuli as firewood and it is concluded that the samples from Khulna Division were most suitable. The results showed the order of major element concentrations to be Ca>K>Si.
