Abstract: The relevance of the greenhouse gas N2O was investigated in two small-scale biomass combustion plants, a 30-kW fixed bed and a 70-kW moving grate furnace, both of which use double air staging. Furthermore, the 70-kW furnace was simulated with ideal reactor models, applying a detailed nitrogen chemistry mechanism to gain insights into N2O formation mechanisms that occur during double air-staged combustion.
