Abstract
BEST has prepared a study on particulate matter emissions from biomass combustion for the Austrian Biomass Association.
This fact sheet summarizes both the current and future status (through 2050) of particulate matter emissions from small-scale combustion in Austria, as well as the current state of knowledge regarding emissions from small-scale biomass combustion. The original fact sheet dates from 2019. In this 2025 update, the emission values have been updated and aligned with the current calculations of the Austrian Air Pollutant Inventory. Additionally, several scenarios have been calculated that demonstrate the potential for further reductions in particulate matter emissions under various current emission limits.
