“…As previously explained, the role of a combustion process is vital to increasing the efficiency of domestic or industrial stoves and, subsequently, the sustainability of the process, reducing the amounts of pollutants released into the atmosphere, depending on factors such as biomass composition [21,22], previous conditions [23], stove design (including its evolution to improve performance) [24][25][26], or burning conditions [27][28][29]. Thus, some studies have previously dealt with this subject, as can be observed in Table 1.…”

The global energy scenario is becoming a vital aspect of the sustainable economic development of regions and countries. Current changes in energy production, mainly due to scarcity and geopolitical factors, have proven the need for changes in energy distribution towards a lower energy dependence. Moreover, a considerable amount of biomass waste is generated in many regions, because of agro-industrial activities, whose management could contribute to energy production. The aim of this work was to study the optimization of the combustion process in a biomass stove by using different raw materials as fuels, such as pine, poplar, and plum tree pellets. For that purpose, power, excess air, and biomass content were optimized, among other parameters, and exhaust gases were analyzed with a Testo 335 analyzer, while temperatures were recorded with temperature probes. In conclusion, high yields were found for the optimized parameters of the studied biomass products (ranging from 91.1% for poplar pellets to 92.34% for pine pellets), making these three biomass fuels suitable for combustion in the abovementioned stove. Also, increasing biomass flow by 25% in the stove contributed to a higher efficiency of the process, especially in the case of plum tree pellets.

“…PM emissions from small-scale boilers (with heat power outputs below 500 kW) are represented by ultrafine particles, the vast majority of which are 50-200 nm in size [1]. Because of their worldwide distribution and hazards to public health, these emissions are of global concern and should be reduced.…”

Sustainable use of biomass energy sources can reduce dependency on fossil fuels. Wood biomass is the primary source for heating in Slovenia, with firewood and wood pellets having the highest share. Slovenia’s largest consumers of wood fuels are households primarily using wood from their forests or imported wood pellets. This research used a life cycle assessment to analyze and evaluate the environmental impacts of using firewood and wood pellets for household heating in Slovenia for the first time. The results showed that wood logs have a considerably greater effect on stratospheric ozone depletion, ozone formation, and fine particulate matter (PM) formation. The impact on global warming was lower due to short transportation distances and using log boilers with high combustion efficiency (0.016 and 0.041 kg CO2 eq for wood log and wood pellet combustion, respectively). An increase in transportation distance from 100 km to 1000 km resulted in an 84.9% increase in the values for the categories ozone formation and human health, a 120.4% increase for fossil resource scarcity, and a 102.4% increase in global warming, supporting the premise that short distribution routes are necessary for more sustainable use of the energy source.
