Reading this article:
I'm a bit miffed that they separated petroleum based fuels (Gas and Diesel), but lumped all wood burning into one category. Almost sounds like the petroleum industry had their greedy mittens in the research somehow..
If they're going to separate petroleum fuels, then they should separate wood species as well.
Of course, we're not in Athens, we're in the USA.. We installed our wood stove back in 2010 and it had to meet emissions requirements. The stove has "after-burners".. tubes at the top of the fire box that inject preheated air and cause most of the remaining smoke particles to burn off. And while this sounds like an energy sucking device to reduce pollution like what a car has, these tubes actually make the stove more efficient and help to squeeze the last drops of energy out of the wood being burned.
