A critical review of emission standards and regulations regarding biomass combustion in small scale units (<3 MW)

A critical review of emission standards and regulations regarding biomass combustion in small scale units (<3 MW)

Wood and agricultural crop residues are abundant, renewable and relatively low cost biomasses. Their combustion can replace fossil fuels in several applications. A major concern with biomass combustion is the emission of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. The World Health Organization (WHO)...

Zusammenfassung:Wood and agricultural crop residues are abundant, renewable and relatively low cost biomasses. Their combustion can replace fossil fuels in several applications. A major concern with biomass combustion is the emission of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed ambient air quality guidelines, notably maximum average annual levels of 20 μg/m(3) for PM10 (particulate matter
