Combustion Emissions, Health and Energy Transition Aspects: The Biomass Gas Case

This paper is about the consequences of combustion and in particular of biomass gasification products, as an example, for CO and NOx emissions. The resulting fuel gas is typical a mixture of CH4 and CO2. The burning velocity is important for design of combustion equipment, either domestic or industrial. The particular choice of fuel mixture and the management of the provision of fuels is important for the resulting emissions with associated human health impacts. Combustion emissions are determined by experiments and numerical simulation. In the latter case the kinetic mechanism use impacts the result. A short overview of associated health aspects, as well as combustion research methods are given as well.
