[Stoves] EPA and new stove rules

[Ronal W. Larson]

List:

1.   For a very recent set of (heating) stove rules, see:   http://biomassmagazine.com/articles/9872/epa-releases-proposed-update-to-residential-wood-heater-standards

2.   This takes one to 355 pages at:

     http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-01/documents/proposedrule.pdf, 

which I have barely skimmed (and won’t do more for some time).

   I did find the word “carbonization” used quite a bit (not pyrolysis or carbonization)

3.  One of many good-looking cites sends you to an EPA report done for New York,  where I saw a lot more good data - especially for 2-stage combustion.

Environmental, Energy Market, and

Health Characterization of Wood-Fired

Hydronic Heater Technologies

Executive Summary June 2012 


4.  I hope someone in this business can tell us more that could apply to other forms of wood use.
