Small combustion
2 Description of sources
2.1 Process description
The small combustion installations included in this chapter are mainly intended for heating and
provision of hot water in residential and commercials/institutional sectors. Some of these
installations are also used for cooking (primarily in the residential sector). In the agricultural
sector the heat generated by the installations is used also for crops drying and for heating
greenhouses.
In some instances, combustion techniques and fuels can be specific to an NFR activity category;
however most techniques are not specific to an NFR classification. The applications can be
conveniently sub-divided considering the general size and the combustion techniques applied:
•
residential heating — fireplaces, stoves, cookers, small boilers (< 50 kW);
•
institutional/commercial/agricultural/other heating including:
o
o
heating — boilers, spaceheaters (> 50 kW),
smaller-scale combined heat and power generation (CHP).
Emissions from smaller combustion installations are significant due to their numbers, different
type of combustion techniques employed, and range of efficiencies and emissions. Many of them
have no abatement measures nor low efficiency measures. In some countries, particularly those
with economies in transition, plants and equipment may be outdated, polluting and inefficient. In
the residential sector in particular, the installations are very diverse, strongly depending on
country and regional factors including local fuel supply.

2.2 Techniques
2.2.1
2.2.1.1
Residential heating (1.A.4.b)
General
In small combustion installations a wide variety of fuels are used and several combustion
technologies are applied. In the residential activity, smaller combustion appliances, especially
older single household installations are of very simple design, while some modern installations of
all capacities are significantly improved. Emissions strongly depend on the fuel, combustion
technologies as well as on operational practices and maintenance.
For the combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels, the technologies used are similar to those for
production of thermal energy in larger combustion activities, with the exception of the simple
design of smaller appliances like fireplaces and stoves.
The technologies for solid fuels and biomass utilization vary widely due to different fuel
properties and technical possibilities. Small combustion installations employ mainly fixed bed
combustion technology, i.e. grate-firing combustion (GF) of solid fuels. Solid fuels include
mineral and biomass solid fuels, with grain size varying from a few mm to 80 mm.
More detailed descriptions of techniques can be found in Kubica, et al., (2004).
2.2.1.2
Fireplaces overview
Fireplaces are the most simple combustion devices, and are often used as supplemental heating
appliances primarily for aesthetic reasons in residential dwellings. There are solid- and gas-fuelled
fireplaces. The fireplaces can be divided into open, partly-closed and closed fireplaces. Based on
the type of construction materials used, they can be divided into cut stone and/or brick (masonry)
fireplaces, or, and cast-iron or steel. Masonry fireplaces are usually built on site and integrated
into the building structure, while iron or steel are prefabricated for installation with a suitable
chimney or flue.
Solid fuel fireplaces
Solid fuel fireplaces are manually-fired fixed bed combustion appliances. The user intermittently
adds solid fuels to the fire by hand. They can be distinguished into the following.
Open fireplaces
This type of fireplace is of very simple design — a basic combustion chamber, which is
directly connected to the chimney. Fireplaces have large openings to the fire bed. Some of
them have dampers above the combustion area to limit the room air intake and resulting heat
losses when fireplace is not being used. The heat energy is transferred to the dwelling mainly
by radiation. Open fireplaces are usually of masonry type and have very low efficiency while
having significant emissions of total suspended particulates (TSP), CO, non-methane volatile
organic compounds (NMVOC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) resulting from
the incomplete combustion of the fuels.
Partly-closed fireplaces
Equipped with louvers and glass doors to reduce the intake of combustion air. Some masonry
fireplaces are designed or retrofitted in that way in order to improve their overall efficiency.

1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
Closed fireplaces
These fireplaces equipped with front doors and may have distribution of combustion air to
primary and secondary as well as a system to discharge the exhaust gases. They are
prefabricated and installed as stand-alone units or as a fireplace inserts installed in existing
masonry fireplaces. Because of the design and the combustion principle, closed fireplaces
resemble stoves and their efficiency usually exceeds 50 %. They have similar emissions to
stoves, i.e. lower than open or partly-closed fireplaces. For this reason they can be rated on a
similar basis to stoves.
Fuels used in solid fuel fireplaces are mainly log, lump wood, biomass briquettes, and charcoal,
coal and coal briquettes. Multifuel appliances are available which can burn a range of solid fuels
including manufactured solid fuels and wood.
Gas-fuelled fireplaces
Gas fireplaces are also of simple design; materials and equipment are similar to those of solid
fuels fireplaces, yet equipped with a gas burner. Because of the simple valves employed for
adjustment of fuel/air ratio and non-premixing burners, NOx emissions are lower, but emissions of
CO and NMVOC can be higher in comparison to gas-fired boilers.
2.2.1.3
Stoves
Stoves are enclosed appliances in which useful heat is transmitted to the surroundings by radiation
and convection. They can vary widely due to fuels type, application, design and construction
materials, and also combustion process organisation.
The stoves utilizing solid fuels are usually used for heating of the rooms (room heaters), but also
for cooking, and hot water preparation (boilers and water heaters), while liquid and gas stoves
tend to be used mainly for space heating.
Solid fuel stoves
The solid fuel stoves can be classified on the basis of the combustion principle, which primarily
depends on the airflow path through the charge of fuel in a combustion chamber. Two main types
exist: up-draught (under-fire, down-burning combustion) and downdraught (up-burning
combustion). The vast majority of older stoves are of the up-draught type, which is of simpler
design, but has higher emissions.
Different kinds of solid fuels are used, such as coal and its products (usually anthracite, hard coal,
brown coal, patent fuels, and brown coal briquettes) and biomass — wood logs, wood chips and
wood pellets and briquettes. Coals of different grain sizes are used usually 20–40 mm, and above
40 mm, or mixtures of both. Peat is also occasionally used.
The stoves can be made as prefabricated iron or steel appliances or masonry stoves, which are
usually assembled on site with bricks, stone or ceramic materials. Regarding the main mode of
heat transfer, solid fuel stoves can be divided into two main subgroups which are radiating stoves,
and heat storing or, heat accumulating stoves. Radiating stoves are usually prefabricated iron or
steel appliances; some of them can provide water heating, indirect heating (boilers) and some are
used as cooking stoves.

1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
Conventional, traditional stoves
These have poorly organised combustion process resulting in low efficiency (40 % to 50 %)
and significant emissions of pollutants mainly originating from incomplete combustion (TSP,
CO, NMVOC and PAH). Their autonomy (i.e. the ability to operate without user intervention)
is low, lasting from three to eight hours. Those, which are equipped with hot-plate zones, are
used also for cooking — kitchen stoves. Some of them could also be used for hot water
preparation.
Energy efficient conventional stoves
Essentially, traditional stoves with improved utilization of secondary air in the combustion
chamber. Their efficiency is between 55 % and 75 % and emissions of pollutants are lower,
their autonomy ranges from 6 to 12 hours.
Advanced combustion stoves
These stoves are characterized by multiple air inlets and pre-heating of secondary combustion
air by heat exchange with hot flue gases. This design results in increased efficiency (near
70 % at full load) and reduced CO, NMVOC and TSP emissions in comparison with the
conventional stoves.
Modern pellet stoves
This is a type of advanced stove using pelletized fuels such as wood pellets, which are
distributed to the combustion chamber by a fuel feeder from small fuel storage. Modern
pellets stoves are often equipped with active control system for supply of the combustion air.
They reach high combustion efficiencies by providing the proper air/fuel mixture ratio in the
combustion chamber at all times (CITEPA, 2003). For this reason they are characterized by
high efficiency (between 80 % and 90 %) and low emissions of CO, NMVOC, TSP and PAH.
Masonry (heat accumulating) stoves
These stoves are made of materials able to accumulate heat (e.g. fire brick, ceramic tiles or
certain volcanic rocks (Finish stove for example)). Slow heat-release appliances are generally
masonry stoves. A rapid heating in large thermal mass of masonry materials is achieved. Heat
is slowly released by radiation to the surrounding area. Their combustion efficiency ranges
from 70 to 80 % and their autonomy from 8 to 12 hours (CITEPA, 2003).
Catalytic combustor stoves
Stoves, in particular for wood combustion, can be equipped with a catalytic converter in order
to reduce emissions caused by incomplete combustion. Due to more complete oxidation of the
fuels, energy efficiency also increases. Catalytic combustors are not common for coal stoves.
Liquid/gas-fuelled stoves
The liquid/gas stoves have simple design; gas stoves are equipped with simple valves for fuel/air
ratio adjustment and non-pre-mixing burners. For that reason emissions of NOx from these are
lower in comparison to gas-fired boilers. Simple liquid fuel stoves use evaporation systems for
preparation of fuel/air mixture.
Regarding construction material and design, liquid and gas stoves are generally less diversified
than those for solid fuels. They are made of steel and prefabricated.

Small combustion
2.2.1.4
Small boilers (single household/domestic heating) — indicative capacity ≤ 50 kW
output
In general, boilers are devices which heat water for indirect heating. Small boilers of this capacity
are used in flats and single houses. Designs are available for gaseous, liquid and solid fuels. They
are mainly intended for generation of heat for the central heating system (including hot air
systems) or hot water, or a combination of both.
Solid fuel small boilers
Small boilers for central heating for individual households are more widespread in temperate
regions and usually have a nominal output between 12 kW to 50 kW. They use different types of
solid fossil fuels and biomass usually depending on their regional availability. They could be
divided into two broad categories regarding the organisation of combustion process: overfeed
boiler (overfeed burning — over-fire and under-fire — down-burning) and underfeed boiler
(underfeed burning — over-fire). They can be differentiated between conventional and advanced
combustion boilers.
Conventional, coal/biomass boilers
Over-fire boilers
Over-fire boilers are commonly used in residential heating due to their simple operation and
low investment cost. An incomplete combustion process takes place due to the non-optimal
combustion air supply, which is usually generated by natural draught. The fuel is periodically
fed onto the top of the burning fuel bed. The efficiency of the over-fire boiler is similar to the
efficiency of conventional stoves, and is usually between 50 % and 65 %, depending on
construction design and load. The emission of pollutants resulting from incomplete
combustion of fuel may be very high particularly if they are operated at low load.
Under-fire boilers
Under-fire boilers have manual fuel feeding systems, and stationary or sloping grates. They
have a two-part combustion chamber. The first part is used for storage of fuel and for partial
devolatilization and combustion of the fuel layer. In the second part of the combustion
chamber the combustible gases are oxidized. In older designs, natural draught is used.
Combustion in under-fire boilers is more stable than in over-fire boilers, due to continuous
gravity feed of fuel onto the fire bed. This results in higher energy efficiency (60-70 %) and
lower emissions in comparison to overfeed combustion.
Advanced combustion boilers
Advanced, under-fire coal boilers
In general, the design and the combustion technique are similar to the conventional under-fire
boiler. The main difference is that a fan controls the flue gases flow. Control system for the
primary and secondary air might lead to increase in efficiency above 80 % (usually between
70 % and 80%).
Downdraught wood boilers
This type of boiler is considered state of the art in the lump wood combustion. It has two
chambers, first one where the fuel is fed for partial devolatilisation and combustion of the fuel
layer, and a secondary chamber, where burning of the released combustible gases occurs. The
advantage of this boiler is that the flue gases are forced to flow down through holes in a

Small combustion
ceramic grate and thus are burned at high temperature within the secondary combustion
chamber and ceramic tunnel. Owing to the optimised combustion process, emissions due to
incomplete combustion are low.
Stoker coal burners
The fuel with low ash contents and the grain size of between 4 mm up to 25 mm is
automatically fed into to a retort by a screw conveyor. The stoker boiler is characterized by
higher efficiency, usually above 80 %. The advantage of stoker boiler is that it can operate
with high efficiency within load range from 30 % to nominal capacity. In a properly operated
stoker, emissions of pollutants resulting from incomplete combustion are significantly lower;
however, NOx increases due to the higher combustion temperature.
Wood boilers
Automatic log-fired boilers are available. However. most small boilers are wood pellet or
chip-fired. These have a fully automatic system for feeding of pellet or woodchip fuels and for
supply of combustion air, which is distributed into primary and secondary. The boilers are
equipped with a smaller fuel storage bin, which is fuelled manually or by an automatic system
from a larger chamber storage. The pellets are introduced by screw into the burner. These
boilers are characterised by a high efficiency (usually above 80 %) and their emissions are
comparable to those of liquid fuel boilers.
Liquid/gas-fuelled small boilers
These are usually two-function appliances used for hot water preparation and for heat generation
for the central heating system. In the capacity range below 50 kW output they are used mainly in
single households. Water-tube low temperature boilers (temperature of water below 100 oC) with
open combustion chamber are usually used. These devices can be made of cast iron or steel. The
boilers with capacity below 50 kW, can be divided into two main groups, i.e. standard boiler and
condensing boilers.
Standard boilers
Standard boilers have an open combustion chamber, having maximum energy efficiency
above 80 %, because of the comparatively high flue gas losses. Due to very simple design of
combustion process automation system they can have higher emissions of CO and VOC in
comparison to larger boilers and industrial installations.
Condensing boilers (room-sealed boilers)
These devices recover more heat from the exhaust gases by condensing moisture released in
the combustion process and can operate with efficiency more than 90 %. Condensing boilers
are also available for oil-firing boilers.
2.2.1.5
Cooking
Domestic cooking using solid fuel
These appliances are usually made of iron or steel and the combustion chamber is often
covered with fire bricks; modern devices may incorporate a hot-water boiler for indirect
heating of a dwelling. Their combustion efficiency ranges from 50 to 70 % depending on the
type and quality of the installation and also the operation mode. Their autonomy is a few
hours. Pollutant emissions are quite high in old installations, while in the most recent ones, the

Small combustion
use of secondary or tertiary air allows a better combustion control. Solid fuel barbecues
(outdoor cooking including ‘disposable’ single use barbecue packs) are used seasonally.
Cooking using gas
Gas-fired units are widely used in the residential sector. These comprise hobs (including
heating rings for pots) and ovens. Outdoor cooking uses bottled gas (LPG).
2.2.1.6
Outdoor heating and other combustion
Residential and commercial use of outdoor heating has increased in some countries in recent years
through the use of gas-fired patio heaters and similar devices. Traditional solid fuel fire pits and
chimney devices are also relevant.
Combustion appliances are used to heat stones used in saunas in Scandinavia.
2.2.2
2.2.2.1
Non-residential heating (1.A.4.a, 1.A.4.c, 1.A.5.a)
Boilers with indicative capacity between 50 kW and 50 MWth
Boilers of such a capacity are used for heating in multi-residential houses, office, school, hospital
and apartment blocks and are most commonly found small sources in commercial and institutional
sector as well as in agriculture. The largest units are more likely to be associated with other NFR
sectors but are included for convenience.
Solid fuel boilers
Fixed and moving bed combustion technology is commonly used for combustion of solid fuels in
this capacity range. This is a well-established technology, and a great variety of fixed-bed layer
and moving layer boilers (travelling grate combustion, stokers) are in use. In addition to fixed bed
combustion, fluidised bed combustion boilers are in use in this capacity range, frequently for
biomass combustion.
Installations are differentiated into two main subgroups:
•
manually fuelled
•
automatically fuelled.
Manual feed boilers
Due to economical and technical reasons manual-fired boilers usually have a capacity lower than
1 MWth.
Coal/wood boilers
Manually fed boilers in this capacity range apply two combustion techniques, under-fire and
upper-fire, similar as in boilers of lower capacity range (see subsection 2.2.1.4 of the present
chapter).
•
Overfeed boilers, under-fire boilers: coal fuels of different grain size (usually between
5 mm and 40 mm) or lump wood are used in this type of installations. Their thermal
efficiency ranges from 60 % to 80 % and depends on the air distribution into
EMEP/EEA emission inventory guidebook 2009

Small combustion
•
primary/secondary system and secondary sub-chamber design. The emissions of
pollutants, i.e. CO, NMVOC, TSP and PAH resulting from incomplete combustion are
generally high.
Overfeed boilers, upper-fire boilers: fine coal, or mixture of fine coal with biomass chips,
which are periodically moved into combustion chamber are used in this type of boilers.
The ignition is started from the top of the fuel charge. Their efficiency ranges from 75 %
to 80 %. The emissions of pollutants of TSP, CO, NMVOC, PAH are lower in
comparison to overfeed boilers due to different combustion process organization, which is
similar to stoker combustion.
Both the under-fire and upper-fire boilers in this capacity range have better organisation of the
combustion air compared with the ones used in single households.
Biomass/straw boilers
Overfeed boilers, biomass/straw fixed grate boilers are developed and applied for straw and cereal
bale combustion. The straw bales are fed to the combustion chamber by hand. Due to the very fast
combustion of this type of biomass, such installations contain a hot-water accumulation system.
For this reason they are used only in small-scale applications up to a nominal boiler capacity of
1,5 MWth. They are popular in the agricultural regions due to their relatively low costs and simple
maintenance.
Automatic feed boilers
The automatic feed boilers usually have a capacity above 1 MWth, but nowadays also lower
capacity boilers are equipped with automatic feeding (including residential units). In addition,
these installations have, in general, better control of the combustion process compared with
manually fed ones. They typically require fuels of standardised and stable quality. These
installations might also have particulate abatement equipment.
Moving bed (GF) combustion is commonly classified according to the way in which fuel is fed to
the grate, as spreader stokers, overfeed stokers, and underfeed stokers.
Coal of smaller granulation or fine wood (e.g. wood pellet, chips or sawdust) is charged on a
mechanical moving grate. The combustion temperatures are between 1 000 °C and 1 300 °C. The
grate-fired installations are also suitable for co-combustion of coal with biomass. General
applications are aimed at production of heat and/or hot water, and/or low-pressure steam for
commercial and institutional users, in particular for district heating. Due to the highly controlled
combustion process of solid fuels in moving-bed techniques and usually fully automatic process
control systems, the emissions of pollutants, resulting from incomplete combustion, is
significantly lower in comparison to manual feed boilers.
Advanced techniques
Underfeed coal/wood boilers; upper-fire burning, stoker boilers, underfeed rotating grate
These are used for both coal and wood combustion. The process principle is combustion in
underfeeding stoker. The fuel with low ash contents (wood chips, sawdust, pellets; particle
sizes up to 50 mm, or coal up to 30 mm) is fed into the combustion chamber through a screw
conveyor and is transported to a retort when is oxidised.

1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
Cigar straw boiler technology
This is applied for combustion of straw and cereal bales. The fuel bales are automatically
transported to the combustion chamber by a hydraulic piston through an inlet tunnel into the
combustion chamber.
Indirect combustor, gasification of wood biomass
This uses a separate gasification system for the chipped wood fuels, and the subsequent
combustion of the product fuel gases in the gas boiler. An advantage of this technology is a
possibility to use wet wood fuels of varying quality. This technique has low emissions of
pollutants resulting from incomplete combustion of fuels.
Pre-ovens combustion system:
Wood chip combustion installations are used in some countries, especially in the countryside,
heating larger houses and farms. This system contains automatic chips fuel feeding by a screw
and pre-ovens (well-insulated chamber) and could be connected to an existing boiler. Preovens systems apply a fully automatic combustion process and consequently emissions are
low.
Advance automatically stoked wood chip and wood pellet boilers
They generally have a high level of autonomy. Inverted combustion is generally used with
forced draught providing the best performances. The combustion efficiency ranges from 85 to
90 % and the degree of autonomy depends on the degree of automation applied to fuel and ash
handling equipment (ranges from 24 hours to all the heating season).
Fluidised bed combustion
Fluidised bed combustion (FBC) can be divided into bubbling fluidised bed (BFB) and circulating
fluidised bed combustion (CFB), depending on the fluidisation velocity. FBC is particularly
suitable for low-quality, high-ash content coal or other ‘difficult’ solid fuels. The FBC is often
used for co-combustion of coal with biomass. There are only few medium size installations of this
type in operation.
Liquid/gas fuels
For gas and oil boilers the fuel and air are introduced as a mixture using dedicated burners in the
combustion chamber. The burners on these small boilers tend to be self-contained units from
specialist manufacturers which are fitted to a boiler.
Boilers fired with gaseous and liquid fuels are produced in a wide range of different designs and
are classified according to burner configuration (injection burner or blow burner), construction
material, the type of medium transferring heat (hot water, steam) and their power, the water
temperature in the water boiler (which can be low temperature ≤ 100 oC, medium-temperature
> 100 oC to ≤ 115 oC, high-temperature > 115 oC), the heat transfer method (water-tube, fire-tube)
and the arrangement of the heat transfer surfaces (horizontal or vertical, straight or bent over
tube).
Cast iron boilers
Produce mainly low-pressure steam or hot water. Typically, they are used in residential and
commercial/institutional sectors up to a nominal boiler capacity of about 1,5 MWth.

Small combustion
Steel boilers
Manufactured, up to a nominal capacity of 50 MWth, from steel plates and pipes by means of
welding. Their characteristic feature is the multiplicity of their design considering the
orientation of heat transfer surface. The most common are water-tube boilers, fire-tube boilers
and condensing boilers.
Water-tube boilers
Equipped with external steel water jacket. Water-tubes (water flows inside, exhaust gasses
outside) are welded in the walls of the jacket.
Fire-tube boilers
In these boilers combustion gasses flow inside smoke tubes, which are surrounded by water.
They are designed as cylinder or rectangular units.
Furnace-fire-tube boilers made of steel
These devices are produced as the horizontal cylinders. The cylinder made of rolled steel plate
ends at both sides with bottoms. The front bottom in its lower part (under the cylinder axis) is
equipped with a furnace tube, which plays the role of combustion chamber.
Condensing boilers
Partly utilize the latent heat of the water vapour in the flue gases due to its condensation in the
heat exchanger. For that reason their efficiency is higher than for other boiler systems. Their
efficiency is more than 90 %. They could efficiently operate at lower inlet water temperatures.
Besides high efficiency their advantage is also a lower emission of NOX.
2.2.2.2
Cooking
Commercial cooking using solid fuel
The extent of solid fuel use in commercial cooking is not known, but is likely to be in specialised
areas such as bakeries and traditional wood-fired pizza ovens.
Cooking using gas
Gas-fired units are widely used in the commercial sectors. These comprise hobs (including heating
rings for pots) and ovens. Outdoor cooking uses bottled gas (LPG).
2.2.2.3
Space heating (direct heating)
Fireplaces and stoves are residential spaceheaters which may also find use in commercial and
institutional premises. However, larger gas and oil-fired combustion units are used for heating in
the commercial and industrial sectors. Units can be fixed (to ceilings and walls) or semi-portable.
2.2.2.4
Outdoor heating and other combustion
Commercial use of outdoor heating has increased in some countries in recent years through the
use of gas-fired patio heaters and similar devices. Larger hot air furnaces are often used to heat
temporary buildings and marquees.
Combustion appliances are used to heat stones used in saunas in Scandinavia.
Steam cleaning equipment often incorporates an oil burner to provide hot water.

2.2.2.5
Combined heat and power (CHP)
Requirements to increase the efficiency of the energy transformation and the use of renewable
energy sources have led to the development of small CHP units. Use of steam boiler plus backpressure turbine for electricity generation is the traditional approach and can allow use of biomass
fuels. However, use of small-scale internal combustion cogeneration technology (gas turbine or
stationary engine with heat recovery) is increasingly common. The cogeneration technology can
be applied in comparatively small applications using small gas-fired reciprocating engines, but
large reciprocating engines and gas turbines are also applied. Tri-generation (CHP and cooling) is
also applied using this technology.
There are examples of small-scale wood gasification technology, primarily for waste wood
streams, but also capable of operation on non-waste wood.
2.3 Emissions
Relevant pollutants are SO2, NOx, CO, NMVOC, particulate matter (PM), heavy metals, PAH,
polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins and furans (PCDD/F) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB). For solid
fuels, generally the emissions due to incomplete combustion are many times greater in small
appliances than in bigger plants. This is particularly valid for manually-fed appliances and poorly
controlled automatic installations.
For both gaseous and liquid fuels, the emissions of pollutants are not significantly higher in
comparison to industrial scale boilers due to the quality of fuels and design of burners and boilers,
except for gaseous- and liquid-fuelled fireplaces and stoves because of their simple organization
of combustion process. However, ‘ultra-low’ NOx burner technology is available for gas
combustion in larger appliances. In general, gas- and oil-fired installations generate the same type
of pollutants as for solid fuels, but their quantities are significantly lower.
Emissions caused by incomplete combustion are mainly a result of insufficient mixing of
combustion air and fuel in the combustion chamber (local fuel-rich combustion zone), an overall
lack of available oxygen, too low temperature, short residence times and too high radical
concentrations (Kubica, 1997/1 and 2003/1). The following components are emitted to the
atmosphere as a result of incomplete combustion in small combustion installations: CO, PM and
NMVOCs, NH3 , PAHs as well as PCDD/F.
NH3 — small amounts of ammonia may be emitted as a result of incomplete combustion process
of all solid fuels containing nitrogen. This occurs in cases where the combustion temperatures are
very low (fireplaces, stoves, old design boilers). NH3 emissions can generally be reduced by
primary measures aiming to reduce products of incomplete combustion and increase efficiency.
TSP, PM10, PM2.5 — particulate matter in flue gases from combustion of fuels (in particular of
solid mineral fuels and biomass) may be defined as carbon, smoke, soot, stack solid or fly ash.
Emitted particulate matter can be classified into three groups of fuel combustion products.
The first group is formed via gaseous phase combustion or pyrolysis as a result of incomplete
combustion of fuels (the products of incomplete combustion (PIC)): soot and organic carbon
particles (OC) are formed during combustion as well as from gaseous precursors through
nucleation and condensation processes (secondary organic carbon) as a product of aliphatic,
aromatic radical reactions in a flame-reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen and oxygenated
species; CO and some mineral compounds as catalytic species; and VOC, tar/heavy aromatic

1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
compounds species as a result of incomplete combustion of coal/biomass
devolatilization/pyrolysis products (from the first combustion step), and secondary sulphuric and
nitric compounds. Condensed heavy hydrocarbons (tar substances) are an important, and in some
cases, the main contributor, to the total level of particles emission in small-scale solid fuels
combustion appliances such as fireplaces, stoves and old design boilers.
The next groups (second and third) may contain ash particles or cenospheres that are largely
produced from mineral matter in the fuel; they contain oxides and salts (S, Cl) of Ca, Mg, Si, Fe,
K, Na, P, heavy metals, and unburned carbon formed from incomplete combustion of
carbonaceous material; black carbon or elemental carbon — BC (Kupiainen, et al., 2004).
Particulate matter emission and size distribution from small installations largely depends on
combustion conditions. Optimization of solid fuel combustion process by introduction of
continuously controlled conditions (automatic fuel feeding, distribution of combustion air) leads to
a decrease of TSP emission and to a change of PM distribution (Kubica, 2002/1 and Kubica et al.,
2004/4). Several studies have shown that the use of modern and ‘low-emitting’ residential biomass
combustion technologies leads to particle emissions dominated by submicron particles (< 1 μm)
and the mass concentration of particles larger than 10 μm is normally < 10 % for small
combustion installations (Boman et al., 2004 and 2005, Hays et al., 2003, Ehrlich et al, 2007).
Note that there are different conventions and standards for measuring particulate emissions.
Particulate emissions can be defined by the measurement technique used including factors such as
the type and temperature of filtration media and whether condensable fractions are measured.
Other potential variations can include the use of manual gravimetric sampling techniques or
aerosol instrumentation. Similarly, particulate emission data determined using methodology based
on a dilution tunnel may differ from emission data determined by a direct extractive measurement
on a stack. These issues in measurement methodology, and hence definition, mean that it can be
difficult to compare reported emission data.
Heavy metals (HM) — the emission of heavy metals strongly depends on their contents in the
fuels. Coal and its derivatives normally contain levels of heavy metals which are several orders of
magnitude higher than in oil (except for Ni and V in heavy oils) and natural gas. All ‘virgin’
biomass also contains heavy metals. Their content depends on the type of biomass.
Most heavy metals considered (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn) are usually released as
compounds associated and/or adsorbed with particles (e.g. sulphides, chlorides or organic
compounds). Hg, Se, As and Pb are at least partially present in the vapour phase. Less volatile
metal compounds tend to condensate onto the surface of smaller particles in the exhaust gases.
During the combustion of coal and biomass, particles undergo complex changes, which lead to
vaporization of volatile elements. The rate of volatilization of heavy metal compounds depends on
technology characteristics (type of boilers; combustion temperature) and on fuel characteristics
(their contents of metals, fraction of inorganic species, such as chlorine, calcium, etc.). The
chemical form of the mercury emitted may depend in particular on the presence of chlorine
compounds. The nature of the combustion appliance used and any associated abatement
equipment will also have an effect (Pye et al., 2005/1).
Mercury emitted from small combustion installations (SCIs), similarly to emission from large
scale combustion, occurs in elementary form (elemental mercury vapour Hg0), reactive gaseous
form (reactive gaseous mercury (RGM)) and total particulate form (TPM) (Pacyna et al, 2004).

15
1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
Meanwhile, it has been shown (Pye et al., 2005) that in the case of SCIs, distribution of particular
species of emitted mercury is different to the one observed under large scale combustion.
Contamination of biomass fuels, such as impregnated or painted wood, may cause significantly
higher amounts of heavy metals emitted (e.g. Cr, As). With the exception of Hg, As, Cd and Pb
(which have a significant volatile component), heavy metals emissions can be reduced by
secondary (particulate) emission reduction measures.
PCDD/F — the emissions of dioxins and furans are highly dependent on the conditions under
which cooling of the combustion and exhaust gases is carried out. Carbon, chlorine, a catalyst and
oxygen excess are necessary for the formation of PCDD/F. They are found to be consequence of
the de-novo synthesis in the temperature interval between 180 oC and 500 oC (Karasek et al.,
1987). Coal-fired stoves in particular were reported to release very high levels of PCDD/F when
using certain kinds of coal (Quass U., et al., 2000). The emission of PCDD/F is significantly
increased when plastic waste is co-combusted in residential appliances or when
contaminated/treated wood is used. The emissions of PCDD/F can be reduced by introduction of
advanced combustion techniques of solid fuels (Kubica, 2003/3).
HCB — emissions of HCB from combustion processes are highly uncertain but, on the whole,
processes resulting in PCDD/F formation lead also to HCB emissions (Kakeraka, 2004).
PAH — emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons results from incomplete (intermediate)
conversion of fuels. Emissions of PAH depend on the combustion process, particularly on the
temperature (too low temperature favourably increases their emission), the residence time in the
reaction zone and the availability of oxygen (Kubica K., 1997/1, 2003/1). It was reported that coal
stoves and old type boilers (hand-fuelled) emit several times higher amounts of PAH in
comparison to new design boilers (capacity below 50 kWth), such as boilers with semi-automatic
feeding (Kubica K., 2003/1, 2002/1,3). Technology of co-combustion of coal and biomass that can
be applied in commercial/institutional and in industrial SCIs leads to reduction of PAH emissions,
as well as TSP, NMVOCs and CO (Kubica et al., 1997/2 and 2004/5).
CO — carbon monoxide is found in gas combustion products of all carbonaceous fuels, as an
intermediate product of the combustion process and in particular for under-stoichiometric
conditions. CO is the most important intermediate product of fuel conversion to CO2; it is oxidized
to CO2 under appropriate temperature and oxygen availability. Thus CO can be considered as a
good indicator of the combustion quality. The mechanisms of CO formation, thermal-NO,
NMVOC and PAH are, in general, similarly influenced by the combustion conditions. The
emissions level is also a function of the excess air ratio as well as of the combustion temperature
and residence time of the combustion products in the reaction zone. Hence, small combustion
installations with automatic feeding (and perhaps oxygen ‘lambda’ sensors) offer favourable
conditions to achieve lower CO emission. For example, the emissions of CO from solid fuelled
small appliances can be several thousand ppm in comparison to 50–100 ppm for industrial
combustion chambers, used in power plants.
NMVOC — for small combustion installations (e.g. residential combustion) emissions of NMVOC
can occur in considerable amounts; these emissions are mostly released from inefficiently working
stoves (e.g. wood-burning stoves). VOC emissions released from wood-fired boilers (0.510 MW)
can be significant. Emissions can be up to ten times higher at 20 % load than those at maximum
load (Gustavsson et al, 1993). NMVOC are all intermediates in the oxidation of fuels. They can
adsorb on, condense, and form particles. Similarly as for CO, emission of NMVOC is a result of

Small combustion
low combustion temperature, short residence time in oxidation zone, and/or insufficient oxygen
availability. The emissions of NMVOC tend to decrease as the capacity of the combustion
installation increases, due to the use of advanced techniques, which are typically characterized by
improved combustion efficiency.
Sulphur oxides — in the absence of emission abatement, the emission of SO2 is dependent on the
sulphur content of the fuel. The combustion technology can influence the release of SO2 with (for
solid mineral fuels) higher sulphur retention in ash than is commonly associated with larger
combustion plant.
Nitrogen oxides — emission of NOx is generally in the form of nitric oxide (NO) with a small
proportion present as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Although emissions of NOx are comparatively low
in residential appliances compared to larger furnaces (due in part to lower furnace temperatures),
the proportion of primary NO2 is believed to be higher.
Carbon dioxide — refer to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidance.
Nitrous oxide — refer to IPCC guidance.
Methane — refer to IPCC guidance.
2.4 Controls
Reduction of emissions from combustion process can be achieved by either avoiding formation of
such substances (primary measures) or by removal of pollutants from exhaust gases (secondary
measures).
The key measure for residential appliances is combustion control; emission of PM, CO, NMVOC
and PAH are very dependent on combustion control, and measures to improve this include better
control of temperature, air distribution and fuel quality. A modern enclosed fireplace burning fuel
of the correct quality is less polluting than an open fire.
Primary measures which change appliance population or fuel quality are not directly relevant to
current emissions except for trying to assess how far national or regional policies may have been
implemented. The timing or progress of implementation of national measures for primary
measures is also relevant for projections.
Primary measures: there are several common possibilities (Kubica, 2002/3, Pye et al., 2004):
•
modification of fuels composition and improvement of their quality; preparation and
improvement of quality of solid fuels, in particular of coal (in reference to S, Cl, ash contents,
and fuel size range); modification of the fuels granulation by means of compacting —
briquetting, pelletizing; pre-cleaning — washing; selection of grain size in relation to the
requirements of the heating appliances (stove, boilers) and supervision of its distribution;
partial replacement of coal with biomass (implementation of co-combustion technologies
enabling reduction of SO2, and NOx), application of combustion modifier; catalytic and Ssorbent additives (limestone, dolomite), reduction and modification of the moisture contents
in the fuel, especially in the case of solid biomass fuels;
•
replacing of coal by upgraded solid derived fuel, biomass, oil, gas;
•
control optimization of combustion process;

17
1.A.4.a.i, 1.A.4.b.i, 1.A.4.c.i, 1.A.5.a
Small combustion
•
management of the combustion appliance population: replacement of low efficiency heating
appliances with newly designed appliances, and supervision of their distribution by obligatory
certification system; supervision over residential and communal system heating;
•
improved construction of the combustion appliances; implementation of advanced
technologies in fire places, stoves and boilers construction (implementation of Best Available
Techniques (BAT) for combustion techniques and good combustion practice).
Co-combustion of coal and biomass that can be applied in commercial/institutional and in
industrial SCIs leads to reduction of TSP and PIC emission, mainly PAHs, NMVOCs and CO,
(Kubica et al., 1997/2 and 2004/5).
Secondary emission reduction measures: for small combustion installations a secondary measure
can be applied to remove emissions, in particular PM. In this way emissions of pollutants linked
with the PM, such as heavy metals, PAHs and PCDD/F can also be significantly reduced due to
their removal together with particulate matter. These measures/controls are characterized by
various dedusting efficiency (Perry at al., 1997 and Bryczkowski at al., 2002) and tend to be
applied in accordance with national emission control requirements which vary considerably. For
particulate matter the following options can be considered:
•
settling chambers: gravity separation characterised by a low collection efficiency and
ineffective for the fine particulate fraction;
•
cyclone separators: commonly applied but have a comparatively low collection efficiency for
fine particles (< 85 %);
•
for higher effectiveness (94–99 %), units with multiple cyclones (cyclone batteries) are
applied, and multi-cyclones allow for increased gas flow rates;
•
electrostatic precipitators (their efficiency is between 99.5 % to 99.9 %) or fabric filters (with
efficiency about 99.9 %) can be applied to the larger facilities.
The range of emission control encompasses manually-fired residential appliances with no control
measures through to large boilers with fabric filters. Although emission control may be limited for
small appliances, automatic biomass heating boilers as small as 100 kW output are commonly
fitted with a cyclone.
Small (residential) wood combustion appliances, stoves in particular, can be equipped with a
catalytic converter in order to reduce emissions caused by incomplete combustion. The catalytic
converter is usually placed inside the flue gas channel beyond the main combustion chamber.
When the flue gas passes through catalytic combustor, some pollutants are oxidized. The catalyst
efficiency of emission reduction depends on the catalyst material, its construction (active surface),
the conditions of flue gases flow inside converter (temperature, flow pattern, residence time,
homogeneity, type of pollutants). For wood stoves with forced draught, equipped with catalytic
converter (Hustad, et al., 1995) the efficiency of emission reduction of pollutants is as follows: CO
70–93 %, CH4 29–77 %, other hydrocarbons more than 80 %, PAH 43–80 % and tar 56–60 %.
Reduction of CO emissions from stoves equipped with catalytic converter is significant in
comparison to an advanced downdraught staged-air wood stove under similar operating conditions
(Skreiberg, 1994). However, the catalysts needs frequent inspection and cleaning. The lifetime of
a catalyst in a wood stove with proper maintenance is usually about 10 000 hours. Modern wood
appliances are generally not fitted with catalytic control systems.

3 Methods
3.1 Choice of method
Figure 3-1 presents the procedure to select the methods for estimating process emissions from the
relevant activities. The main ideas behind the decision tree are:
•
if detailed information is available, use it.
If the source category is a key source, a Tier 2 or better method must be applied and detailed input
data must be collected. The decision tree directs the user in such cases to the Tier 2 method, since
it is expected that it is easier to obtain the necessary input data for this approach than to collect
facility level or appliance data needed for a Tier 3 estimate.

available. However, modelling of the NFR sector and appliance population is consistent with a
Tier 3 approach.
3.2 Tier 1 default approach
3.2.1
Algorithm
The Tier 1 approach for process emissions from small combustion installations uses the general
equation:
E pollutant = AR fuelconsumption × EFpollutant
(1)
where:
Epollutant
= the emission of the specified pollutant,
ARfuelconsumption = the activity rate for fuel consumption,
EFpollutant
= the emission factor for this pollutant.
This equation is applied at the national level, using annual national fuel consumption for small
combustion installations in various activities.
In cases where specific abatement options are to be taken into account, a Tier 1 method is not
applicable and a Tier 2 or, if practical, Tier 3 approach must be used.
3.2.2
Default emission factors
Factors are provided for major fuel classifications and applying a distinction between residential

Note:
Concerning the respective heating value used to convert US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) factors,
the USEPA quotes higher heating value (HHV) = 1 020 MMBtu/MM scf; derived lower heating value (LHV) =
920 MMBTU/MM scf (90 % of HHV). The derivation calculations are based on 1 lb/MMscf being equivalent to
0.468 g/GJ (LHV) (note 1 MM= 1x 106).

140 g/GJ of sulphur dioxide corresponds to 0.3 % S of liquid fuel of lower heating value 42 GJ/t. Because the
sulphur content of liquid fuels is defined also by national regulations, compilers of the emission inventory should
consider the national standards for sulphur content as well as information on average sulphur content on the
market, if available.

140 g/GJ of sulphur dioxide corresponds to 0.3 % S of liquid fuel of lower heating value 42 GJ/t. Because the
sulphur content of liquid fuels is defined also by national regulations, compilers of the emission inventory should
consider the national standards for sulphur content as well as information on average sulphur content on the

Sulphur emission factor can be calculated from fuel sulphur content. Emission factor range provided corresponds
to approximately 0.05 to 1 % sulphur content.

Activity data
Information on the use of energy suitable for estimating emissions using the Tier 1 simpler
estimation methodology, is available from national statistics agencies or the International Energy
Agency (IEA).
Further guidance is provided in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories, Volume 2 on Stationary combustion www.ipccnggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/pdf/2_Volume2/V2_2_Ch2_Stationary_Combustion.pdf
The activity rate and the emission factor have to be determined on the same level of aggregation
depending on the availability of data. The activity statistic should be determined within the
considered country or region by using adequate statistics. The activity should refer to the energy
input of the emission sources considered (net or inferior fuel consumption in [GJ]).

Small combustion
3.3 Tier 2 technology-specific approach
3.3.1
Algorithm
The Tier 2 approach is similar to the Tier 1 approach, using activity data and emission factors to
estimate the emissions. The main difference is that the detailed methodology requires more fuel,
technology and country-specific information. Development of the detailed methodology has to be
focused to the combinations of the main installation types/fuels used in the country.
The annual emission is determined by an activity data and an emission factor:
Ei = ∑ EFi , j ,k ⋅ A j ,k ,
(1)
j ,k
where
Ei
= annual emission of pollutant i,
EFi , j ,k
= default emission factor of pollutant i for source type j and fuel k,
A j ,k
= annual consumption of fuel k in source type j.
For example, the sources may be characterised as:
•
residential heating : fire places, water heaters, stoves, boilers, cookers;
•
non-residential heating : space heating, boilers;
•
CHP.
The non-residential activities need to be apportioned to the appropriate NFR activity sectors.
3.3.2
Technology-specific emission factors
The detailed methodology envisages the use of default emission factors for different types of fuel
and combustion appliance technology and these are summarised in Table 3-11. These factors can
be used with knowledge of equipment populations and sectors to develop aggregate factors or
emissions for the NFR subsectors.
The development of national emission factors should consider the combination of installation
types and fuels in the country and, where relevant, emission controls. When deriving specific
emission factors, the emphasis has to be given to taking into account start-up emissions. These
could, especially in the case of stoves and solid fuel small boilers, significantly influence the
emissions of the total combustion cycle.

Note:
140 g/GJ of sulphur dioxide corresponds to 0.3 % S of liquid fuel of lower heating value 42 GJ/t. Emission factor
range provided corresponds to about 0.05 to about 1 % sulphur content.
Because the sulphur content of liquid fuels is defined also by national regulations, compilers of the emission
inventory should consider the national standards for sulphur content as well as information on average sulphur
content on the market, if available.

Notes:
1. Concerning the respective heating value used to convert USEPA factors, the USEPA quotes higher heating
value (HHV) = 1020 MMBtu/MM scf; derived lower heating value (LHV) = 920 MMBTU/MM scf (90 % of
HHV). The derivation calculations are based on 1 lb/MMscf being equivalent to 0.468 g/GJ (LHV) (note
1 MM= 1x 106).
2. The SO2 emission factor refers to USEPA 1998 and not USEPA 2000, as this former factor was considered to
more consistent with the other USEPA factors for natural gas.

Concerning the emission factor reference in the table above ‘Expert judgement based on US EPA 2000, chap 3.2
and US EPA 1996, chap 3.4’ — the factors are an average of different engine type subgroups in the AP42 chapters
3.2 and 3.4 calculated using a simple geometric mean (with no application of any population/use weighting
procedure).

Notes:
1. Factor for SO2 assumes no SO2 abatement and is based on 0.1 % mass sulphur content.
2. TSP is based on AP 42 factor for PM10.
3.3.3
Abatement
A limited number of add-on technologies exist that are aimed at reducing the emissions of
primarily PM in these sectors. The resulting emission can be calculated by extending the
technology-specific emission factor with an abated emission factor as given in the formula:
EFtechnology ,abated = (1 − η abatement ) × EFtechnology ,unabated
(5)
However, as abatement technology is rarely specified in terms of efficiency, it may be more
relevant to develop abated emission factors from the final emission concentrations achieved using
abatement.
Guidance on estimating emission factors from concentrations is provided at subsection 4.3 of the
present chapter.

Activity data
In most cases the statistical information includes data on annual fuel consumption in the relevant
activities. However, data on use of fuels in different technologies may be limited. To fill these
data gaps the following sources could be used:
•
information from emission trading schemes
•
information from the fuel suppliers and individual companies
•
energy conservation/climate change mitigation studies for relevant sectors
•
residential, commercial/institutional and agriculture sector surveys
•
energy demand modelling.
The data from sources should be compared, taking into account their inherent uncertainties in
order to obtain the best assessment of appliance population and fuel use. To improve reliability of
the activity data, appropriate efforts should be made in order to encourage the institution
responsible for national energy statistics to report the fuel consumption at the adequate level of
sectoral disaggregation in their regular activity.
Also, when data on fuel consumption are provided at an appropriate level of sectoral split, they
should be checked for possible anomalies. Wood and other types of biomass consumption (in
some cases also gas oil consumption) in the residential sector requires particular consideration.
For example, the self-supply and direct purchase of the wood from farmers might not be taken into
account when energy statistics are based mainly on the data obtained from the fuel suppliers. This
could lead to a significant underestimation of the wood consumption, especially in the countries
with abundant wood supplies and greater share of heating with stoves and small solid fuel boilers.
In that case, the data on wood consumption should be adjusted. Consultation with the forestry
experts and/or energy demand modelling is recommended.
The Tier 2 methodology requires further allocation of the fuel consumed according to the
installation types. This is particularly relevant to the residential sector where, for example, the
proportion of solid fuel burned in traditional low technology appliances is important to
understanding the significance of the emissions. The data needed are generally not available in
statistics reports. In most cases the inventorying agency would have to use surrogate data to assess
the activity data at the required level of desegregation. National approaches have to be developed
depending on the availability and quality of surrogate data. Some examples of surrogate data
sources are:
•
residential, commercial/institutional and agriculture sector surveys
•
energy conservation/climate change mitigation studies for relevant sectors
•
energy demand modelling
•
information from the fuel suppliers
•
information from producers and sellers of heating appliances
•
chimney sweeping organisations.
Particularly in the case of the residential sector it should be emphasised that the surveys have to be
based on a representative sample. In some countries the means of heating of the households are
regionally very inhomogeneous with a significantly greater share of solid-fuel stoves and boilers

in traditionally coal mining regions and in some rural areas. Additional data could be obtained
from the chimney-sweeper organisations and from environmental inspectorates, particularly for
the commercial-institutional sector.
Another important source of data could be housing statistics. Within the scope of national census,
the data on dwellings occupied by households are usually collected. Data on individual dwellings
might include:
•
number of residents,
•
area of the dwelling,
•
type of building (individual house, attached house, block of flats),
•
construction year,
•
existence or not of central heating,
•
central heating boiler in the flat or common for block of flats,
•
fuels used for heating.
Dwelling statistics could be used to extrapolate results of the household survey or to perform
detailed energy demand/emission modelling. Especially in the case where household emissions
represent a key source or are of a great relevance due to local air quality, it is recommended to
perform such an exercise. Detailed energy demand/emission modelling may be usually performed
at local or regional level; however the extension to the national level does not pose significant
additional requirements. To justify the additional effort required for energy demand/emission
modelling of the households, the emission inventorying agency might find it appropriate to initiate
a common project with other stakeholders, such as, for instance, agencies involved in energy
conservation, climate change mitigation or energy supply.
3.4 Tier 3 emission modelling and use of facility data
Installation-specific emission estimation is not considered to be applicable for the activities
detailed. However the Tier 3 methodology allows a modelling-based approach using more detailed
appliance population data and applies more technology-specific emission factors — guidance on
determining plant-specific emission factors is given in the Measurement Protocol. Relevant
emission factors are also provided at Appendix A.

4 Data quality
4.1 Completeness
The potential for self-supply or other unrecorded fuel supply needs to be considered.
4.2 Avoiding double counting with other sectors
In cases where it is possible to split the emissions, it is good practice to do so. However, care must
be taken that the emissions are not double counted.
4.3 Verification
4.3.1
Best Available Technique emission factors
The size of combustion appliance will generally fall below the threshold where guidance on BAT
emission levels applies.
However, many countries apply emission controls on appliances in the size range considered and
selected emission limit values are provided in the following sections. Details of the methodology
applied to calculate emission factors from emission limits are provided in Appendix B.
4.3.2
Fuel sulphur content
For processes without SO2 abatement, the sulphur content of the fuel provides a means to calculate
the SO2 emission factor.
EFSO2 = [S] x 2 x 1000
100 x CV
where:
•
EFSO2 is the SO2 emission factor g.GJ-1,
•
[S] is the percent sulphur (w/w),
•
CV is the net/inferior calorific value GJ.kg-1,
•
2 is the ratio of the RMM of SO2 to Sulphur.
This equation can be extended to include a factor for retention of SO2 in ash.
Liquid fuels in the EC are subject to sulphur limits (EC SCOLF, 1999/2005) as summarised in
Table 4-1. The SO2 emission factors in Table 4-1 have been calculated assuming 100 %
conversion of fuel sulphur and applying UK net calorific values for fuel oils (DUKES, 2007).

EN303 pt5 is a non-harmonised tandard which incorporates emission ‘classes’ for CO, OGC
(volatile organic compounds) and TSP. The emission factors associated with the emission
concentrations are provided in Table 4-2.
Many countries operate type-approval schemes for residential coal and biomass appliances which
apply TSP emission limits on solid fuel appliances and these can be developed into emission
factors. Ecolabelling schemes for gas appliances may include labelling for NOx emissions.
The following emission factors are calculated using procedure described in Appendix B.

4.4 Developing a consistent time series and recalculation
The emissions of non-CO2 emissions from fuel combustion change with time as equipment and
facilities are upgraded or replaced by less-polluting energy technology. The mix of technology
used with each fuel will change with time and this has implications for the choice of emission
factor at Tier 1 and Tier 2.
4.5 Uncertainty assessment
4.5.1
Emission factor uncertainties
There is uncertainty in the aggregated emission factors used to estimate emissions. The number of
sources, range of use, sizes, fuel quality (particularly solid fuels including biomass) and
technologies in the residential sector will impact on the uncertainty to be expected from the
application of an ‘average’ emission factor.

Activity data uncertainties
The activity data for residential fuel use may be subject to uncertainty from issues of self-supply,
waste disposal or ‘unofficial’ fuel sources.

1. 1) Emission factor of sulphur dioxide strongly depends on sulphur content of fuel; these emission factors were
established for sulphur content of < 0.6 %.
2. 2) TOC is the sum of organic pollutants both in the gaseous phase and as organic solvent soluble particles
except C1–C5 (Kubica 2003/1).

Calculation of emission factors from
emission concentrations
Standardisation of emission concentrations from combustion activities
Annual emissions, emission rates and emission limit values are generally expressed in terms of
pollutant mass (for example tonnes.year-1, kg.hr-1, mg.m-3). Note that a mass concentration is
meaningless unless the volume conditions are defined — typically for a combustion process the
conditions will be a dry volume, at STP (0 °C, 101.3 kPa) and normalised to a reference oxygen
concentration. Consumption of fuel requires a minimum theoretical (stoichiometric) quantity of
air. In practise, more air than the stoichiometric quantity is required to achieve combustion. The
oxygen content in exhaust gases from a combustion appliance is indicative of the amount of
excess air and air ingress in the combustion system. Normalisation to a reference oxygen content
allows comparison between technologies as it removes a diluting (or concentrating) effect of
different levels of excess air/air ingress on the pollutant concentration.
Common oxygen concentrations for emission normalisation are:
•
oil- or gas-fired boilers — 3 % O2
•
solid-fuel boilers — 6, 7 % O2
•
wood-fired boilers — 6, 7, 10, 11 or 13 % O2
•
incineration — 11 % O2
•
gas turbines — 15 % O2
•
stationary engines — 5, 15 % O2
•
dryers — 17 % O2.
Other normalisation oxygen concentrations are used including 0 % O2 which is commonly used in
the testing of residential gas appliances. Concentrations can also be normalised using carbon
dioxide (although this is much less common).
Usually emission concentration data will be provided as mass concentrations at a specified oxygen
content. However, where emission data are provided in other forms, the following equations may
help the user manipulate the date into a more useful form.
Some pollutants are measured and reported on a wet basis and may require standardisation to the
dry condition.
[X]d
=
[X]w .
100
(100-[H2O])
where:
•
[X]w
is the measured concentration for a wet flue gas (ppm, mg.m-3, %v/v),
•
[X]d
is the measured concentration for a dry flue gas (same units as the dry concentration),
•
[H2O] is the flue gas moisture content as % v/v on a wet basis.

Small combustion
Many pollutants are measured as volume (molar) concentrations. Conversion to a mass
concentration assumes ideal gas behaviour and is detailed below:
[X]m
=
[X]d .
MW
22.4
where:
•
[X]d
is the measured concentration in ppm (parts per million) by volume for a dry flue gas,
•
[X]m
is the measured concentration in mg.m-3 by volume for a dry flue gas,
•
MW
is the relative molecular mass of the pollutant (for example 64 for SO2),
•
22.4
is the volume occupied by 1 kgmole of an ideal gas at 0°C, 101.3 kPa (m3).
Note that NOx emission concentrations and emission factors are defined in terms of NO2. Hence,
the relative molecular mass used for NOx is 46. VOC emission concentrations are often defined in
terms of carbon. Hence, the relative molecular mass used for VOC is 12, but this will often be
modified further for the calibration gas applied (for example MW for concentrations measured as
propane C3H8 ‘equivalents’ would 3 x 12 - 36).
Normalisation to a reference O2 concentration is given by:
[X]ref
=
[X]m . (20.9-[ O2]ref)
(20.9-[O2]m)
where :
•
[X]ref
is the standardised concentration of the pollutant at the reference O2 content,
•
[x]m
is the measured concentration in mg.m-3 for a dry flue gas,
•
[O2]m
is the measured O2 concentration in % on a dry basis,
•
[O2]ref is the reference O2 concentration in % on a dry basis (for example 3, 6 or 15 %).
This calculation is appropriate where pollutant and O2 concentrations are measured on a dry basis.
B.2
Calculation of emission factors
An emission factor relates the release of a pollutant to a process activity. For combustion
processes, emission factors are commonly described as the mass of pollutant released per unit of
fuel burned.
An emission factor can be calculated in several ways; the approach adopted uses the standardised
pollutant emission concentrations and the specific theoretical (stoichiometric) volume of flue gas
for the relevant fuel. This approach avoids measurement of exhaust gas flow and fuel flows which
can have a high uncertainty and may not be practical at many combustion plant.
The approach requires knowledge of the fuel used, the pollutant concentration and the oxygen
concentration.
Fuel analysis, where available, allows calculation of the specific flue gas volume from the
elemental analysis. However, the US Environmental Protection Agency Method 19 provides flue

Small combustion
gas volume for common fuels. For other fuels (for example derived gases, landfill gas, unrefined
natural gas or waste-derived fuels) fuel analysis is advised to minimise uncertainty.
Fuel analysis route: the fuel analysis and combustion calculations are used to determine the
stoichiometric air requirement and dry flue gas volume per volume or mass of fuel. Note that is
important to understand the analysis reporting conditions, particularly for solid fuels. The
calculations assume ideal gas behaviour. A dry flue gas volume is calculated for the reference O2
concentration used to normalise the pollutant emission concentration. A pollutant emission factor
(EF) can hence be calculated by multiplying the standardised pollutant concentration by the dry
flue gas volume at the same reference oxygen content.
Generally, the flue gas volumes generated from combustion of fuel can be calculated in
accordance with the following equations.
CXHY
+ (X+(Y/4)O2 = X CO2 + (Y/2) H2O
Note that some of the oxygen may be sourced from the fuel. For combustion in air, each cubic
metre of oxygen is associated with (79.1/20.9) cubic metres of nitrogen.
The dry flue gas volume at stoichiometric conditions (DFGVSC) per unit mass of fuel (or volume
for gaseous fuels) can be calculated and hence the dry flue gas volume at the normalised condition
(DFGVref) for the required reference oxygen content:
DFGVref
=
DFGVSC . (20.9/(20.9-[O2ref]))
A pollutant emission factor (EF) can hence be calculated by multiplying the standardised pollutant
concentration by the dry flue gas volume at the same reference oxygen content. For example, at
15 % oxygen:
EF
=
[X]15% . DFGV15
Emission factors are reported in several ways and these are generally recalculated using physical
or other properties of the fuel.
For example, a thermal emission factor (as used in the Guidebook) can be derived by dividing the
emission factor calculated above by the calorific value of the fuel. For the Guidebook, this is the
net (inferior) CV.
EFthermal =
EF
CV
where:
•
EFthermal is the thermal emission factor expressed in units to suit the user (for example g GJ-1),
•
CV is the net calorific value of the fuel in appropriate units to suit the units of the emission
factor.
USEPA Method 19: the USEPA provides stoichiometric dry flue gas volume for fuel oil. The
USEPA data can be found in USEPA Method 19 (US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 Part
60, Appendix A). The USEPA ‘F-factor’ data are presented as the volume of dry flue gas at 20 °C

associated with the gross thermal input of the fuel. These USEPA conditions are not consistent
with the Guidebook or emission reporting practise in Europe and consequently some manipulation
of the data is required. Calculations assume an ideal gas.
The USEPA method can be obtained here www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method19.html and the
F-factors are provided below.
The Fd factors are used — these represent the dry stoichiometric flue gas volume per unit of
energy input. The Fw and Fc factors represent the wet flue gas volume and CO2 volumes
respectively.
The USEPA dry flue gas volume at stoichiometric conditions are first recalculated to provide the
flue gas volume (DFGVref) for the required oxygen content at STP and for the net energy input.
Fd’
= Fd . (273/293). ((CVgross)/CVnet))
where :
•
Fd’ is the stoichiometric dry flue gas volume at STP per unit of net energy input – m3.J-1,
•
Fd is the USEPA factor (20 °C and gross energy input),
•
273/293 volume correction — ratio of temperatures in Kelvin.
Note that it is the ratio between the fuels’ gross and net calorific values that is needed. Indicative
ratios are provided below based on UK data (DUKES 2007).

The dry flue gas volume at the normalised oxygen content can then be calculated:
Fdref
=
Fd’ . (20.9/(20.9-[O2ref]))
A pollutant emission factor (EFthermal) can then be calculated by multiplying the standardised
pollutant concentration by the dry flue gas volume at the same reference oxygen content. For
example at 15 % oxygen:
EFthermal
=
[X]15% . Fd15%
Emission factors are reported in several ways and these are generally recalculated using physical
or other properties of the fuel.
For example, a mass emission factor can be derived by multiplying the thermal emission factor
calculated above by the net calorific value of the fuel.
EF
=
EFthermal . CV
where:
•
EFthermal is the thermal emission factor expressed in units to suit the user (for example g GJ-1),
•
CV is the net calorific value of the fuel in appropriate units to suit the units of the emission
factor.

Notes
1. All combustion unit sizes are MWth (thermal input).
2. Range of concentrations (NOx, SO2 and PM) generally corresponds to ELVs for new and existing combustion
plant. Some countries apply BAT achievable emission levels rather than ELVs.
3. Note that for SO2, the ELV for unabated combustion units is determined by fuel sulphur content and Directive
1999/32/EC on sulphur content of certain liquid fuels (1 % for heavy fuel oil and 0.2 % for gas oil until
1.1.2008 when the gas oil sulphur limit will be 0.1 %).
4. Germany distinguishes NOx emissions by application; HWB — hot water boiler, LPS — steam boiler
supplying steam at temperature up to 210 ºC and up to 1.8 Mpa, HPS — boilers supplying steam at
temperature greater than 210 ºC or pressure over 1.8 Mpa.
