EPA- Environmental and Sustainable Technology Evaluations, ESTE

A study was done of two facilities ( one in Minnesota and one in Iowa) to determine the effect of co-firing of biomass in coal-fired boilers on emissions of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases. The use of biomass has widespread appeal as a means for reducing the use of finite fossil fuel resources. In both facilities the efficiency of the boilers were reduced due to the inclusion of biomass. The affect on particulate and gaseous emissions was varied. http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/std/etv/pubs/600s08026.pdf
