Abstract:
Firewood stoves are widespread and popular for renewable heat supply in Europe. Several new technological measures have been developed recently which aim at improving the appliance performance in terms of emissions and efficiency. In order to support the trend towards “(nearly) zero-emissions technologies” the objective of this study was, to provide a profound overview of the most relevant primary and secondary measures for emission reduction and to analyze their functionality, relevant framework conditions for their application as well as costs. Primary and secondary measures were analyzed separately, but also potential promising combinations of primary and secondary optimization were evaluated using SWOT-analysis, respectively. The results showed that complementary application of primary and secondary measures will be necessary in order to achieve (nearly) zero-emission technologies. The paper is useful for manufacturers and provide them guidance and recommendations for future developments. Hence, they can specifically select appropriate measures for their products and applications.
