Abstract

The article consist comparative analysis of SO2, NOx, CO, CO2 and dust expressed in energy units produced from willow biomass, coal and heating oil. Those calculations proved that coal use caused over eighty times (for heating oil four times) increase of SO2 emission with comparison to biomass. The amount of NOx generated during the combustion of coal and fuel oil is respectively higher by 21% and lower than 26%. The use of coal reduced the CO emissions by 5% and fuel oil — 99% compared to biomass. Also the amount of NOx is higher respectively by 80% and 20%. Emission of CO is also higher (32%) than from biomass and for heating oil is lower by 99%. Energy production from fossil fuels entails 15–17% higher emission of CO2 than from renewable fuel. Dust emission was twice higher from coal when compared to willow chips. The lowest pollution of dust was noted for heating oil.
