Project Description

If biomass is to make its greatest possible contribution to renewable energy provision in Ireland any positive impact on the environment must not be outweighed by potential negative impacts on the environment. The issue of air quality and emissions from biomass combustion needs to be properly examined. This project aims to undertake a desk study of existing boiler regulations, air quality regulations, appliance requirements, fuel requirements and other relevant information and produce a report to inform policy makers.
