Setting of target values for household heating by wood

Abstract

With the growing concern about sustainable development and sustainable energy, there exists increasing pressure on energy-efficiency technologies to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper discusses and analyzes on real regional data the potential of biomass in energy-efficiency issues, how to determine the volume of changes of heating from coal or natural gas to wood and the effects of biomass combustion expansion. However, also the role of grants provided by governments to support energy-efficiency initiatives is explained.
