Description of Project LIFE GREEN-STOVE

Households use energy for various purposes: space and water heating, space cooling, cooking, lighting, and electrical appliances, with heating being the main use. Residential heating are mainly based on non-renewable sources, as renewables account for only 19.5% of the total. The energy and climate legislative framework of the EU has set the target of 32% for renewables in total gross final energy consumption by 2030 and is pushing for an increased use of biomass for energy purposes, including domestic heating, where solid biomass is a pivotal fuel. Indeed, biomass for energy (bioenergy) is the main source of renewable energy in the EU, with a share of almost 60%. Unfortunately, biomass burning in domestic appliances is known to release high quantities of air pollutants. Data from the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) show that PM2.5 emissions of biomass used for energy purposes in buildings have increased by more than 60% since 1990. ... for more info please visit https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/life/publicWebsite/project/details/5609
